== Disjunction ==

This is a tricky one: jan Kala in particular uses "anu" even to break sentences like "taso", so maybe he should be left out? I don't think it's fair at all to say that whether or not it is possible to use "anu" as a way of forming disjunctions is controversial per se: rather, the uncertainty about how it should be done has meant that it's hardly done at all (I confirmed this by trawling through utala pona winners for examples: many never use it, and the vast majority of the uses, including those who exclusively use it this way, are "anu seme" forms). I think (as a slight reformist soap box) that we actually *do* know how to use "anu" to form disjunctions, and that there are enough examples of its being used to be worth documenting here.

Noting for the future: lots of people use [[anu]] at the beginning of a sentence ''without'' [[la]]. That should be documented under experimental usage. [[User:JPeton|JPeton]] ([[User talk:JPeton|talk]]) 12:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
