TECH: PROPOSED GRAMMAR CHANGE X4: Forethought bridi and bridi-tail connection

[Jorge Llambias <jorge@PHYAST.PITT.EDU>]

CHANGE X4

PRESENT LANGUAGE:

The following are allowed:

        ge ko'a broda gi ko'e brode
        ge ko'a broda gi brode
        ge broda gi brode

But this one is not:

        *ge broda gi ko'e brode

PROPOSED CHANGE:

Allow that form, along with the more general:

        ko'a ge ko'e broda gi ko'i brode

This would mean eliminating the distinction between bridi and
bridi-tail forethought connection.

RATIONALE:

It is really counterintuitive that {ge ko'a broda gi brode} is allowed
while {ge broda gi ko'e brode} is not. The distinction between bridi
and bridi-tail forethought connection is totally arbitrary. The general
connection makes perfect sense semantically within the frame of the
language as it is.

NOTE: This change is an extension. It does not affect any existing
grammatical text.
