(Question about "rebracketing") |
(→"pi" isn't "ki": new section) |

Line 2:
Is it worth adding the description of [[pi]] as "rebracketing?" Typically, the parentheses are used as a way of showing the effect of pi (as in "tomo pi (telo nasa)") rather than as a definite way of defining what pi does and how it works. --[[User:JPeton|JPeton]] ([[User talk:JPeton|talk]]) 03:03, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
== "pi" isn't "ki" ==
On second thought, I'm not actually sure that kala Tonyu's example here is necessarily a case where "wile" is a preverb. jan Kepe's is unambiguously an example of what this section is about. I (Peton) have at various times considered this usage to be directly erroneous, but that doesn't mean it isn't common or without its own merits. Perhaps some example of "jan pi alasa e waso li lon ma kasi" sort of thing should be found, where an "e" is used within a "pi" phrase. I think people agree that that's erroneous, and its correspondingly uncommon. [[User:JPeton|JPeton]] ([[User talk:JPeton|talk]]) 05:19, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
