Of course, part of this amounts to working out
when "having identified a subgroup" is realized.
I would say it was in "Iz: z group & xCz," you
would take it as coming only at the end of the
whole. The section on most likely Fs goes with
the first interpretation, which also is closer to
the Lojban pattern.
