Robin's gadri Proposal

posts: 2388

Because the empty places assume that some value goes in, not that the place is deleted (reading {zo'i} as {zi'o}). But creating something out of nothing is certainly conceptually possible — though surprising — and so needs to be sayable and not just by sying we are going to ignore the preexisting material.

It seems conceptually strange to me that I couldn't say "mi finti da",
meaning "mi finti da fo zo'i" ("I made shit up") without expecting
substantial confusion on the part of the listener.
