Lojban

Particle

li

1. indicates that the next word is a number or mathematical expression used as a sumti

Usage notes

• A sumti phrase begun with li ends with the elidable terminator lo'o unless no ambiguity results (in which case the terminator is elided).
• The numerals following the li end with the elidable terminator boi (unless no ambiguity results (in which case the terminator is elided)).
• In some instances, lo'o and boi may be interchangeable, yielding parsings with essentially the same structure.
