15. No more to say: FAhO

The following cmavo is discussed in this section:

   fa'o    FAhO    end of text
The cmavo ``fa'o'' (of selma'o FAhO) is the usually omitted marker for the end of a text; it can be used in computer interaction to indicate the end of input or output, or for explicitly giving up the floor during a discussion. It is outside the regular grammar, and the machine parser takes it as an unconditional signal to stop parsing unless it is quoted with ``zo'' or with ``lo'u ... le'u''. In particular, it is not used at the end of subordinate texts quoted with ``lu ... li'u'' or parenthesized with ``to ... toi''.
