Magic Words

That's an important point. If we define "magic word" as any word
that deals with the construct "any-word", then UI and BAhE are
not magic words. They do deal with every word in the same way,
but they don't deal with the construct "any-word" or anything
like it, which disables the ordinary function of any word.
So if I'm not mistaken for the true magic words we
would have:
zo-word = ZO any-word
zei-word = any-word ZEI any-word
bu-word = any-word BU
lohu-word = lo'u lehu-close
lehu-close = LEhU | any-word lehu-close
si-null = any-word SI
su-null = SU | any-word su-null
zoi-word =zoi any-word anything that-word
(I'm not sure how this one is formalized)
SA has to be handled selmaho by selmaho.
Where:
any-word = zo-word | zei-word | bu-word | lo'u-word
| zoi-word | A | ... | ZOhU
Y is not included in "any-word".
BAhE becomes part of the word that follows (except when it has
been transformed to "any-word" by the above rules, but that is
nothing special about BAhE, LE also doesn't convert the following
selbri into a sumti when it has been turned into "any-word").

{broda ba'e si brode} would be an emphatically deleted {broda},
replaced by {brode}: i.e. {ba'e} is always (no exceptions)
absorbed by the following word. The construct {ba'e si} would
be an emphasized word eraser.
