Re: {do'e}

[Logical Language Group <lojbab@GREBYN.COM>]

It hasn't seen use because few people write things of the complexity that
require indefinites to be explicitly stated - after all, indefinites ARE
ellipses.  I'm not even all that sure that it is well known; i.e. in the
published cmavo list, as opposed to the net-published list (the fact that
a word gets announced, or put out on a supplemental list does not mean that
the average Lojbanist knows about it, since most do not actually update
their lists with the changes we propose.

fi'o tags may require a closing bracket, so that must be factored into the
potential cost of deleting it.

do'e was added not for any reason having to do with sumti raising, but as a
parallel with co'e.  I believe this was discussed at a LogFest, probably 2
years ago, or maybe the October gathering that year, which was the first
that you came to John.  I'm sure Athelstan was one of those who participated
in the decision.
