OK. I misunderstood what you said on irc yesterday
about {<good stuff> <bad stuff> fa'o <bad stuff>}.
I understood you to say that that returned {<good stuff> fa'o},
but you must have said that it just returns {<good stuff>}, with
no {fa'o}.

I'd like to know what the official grammar of FAhO is, then.
Is it something like:

text = (rest of grammar) [FAhO anything]

?

mu'o mi'e xorxes
