Usage notes

 * ' can be necessary because any two or  (as well as the  '), when placed directly in sequence, form a, a phrase with a single meaning.
 * Thus, ' may be necessary to divide the from certain preceding words. When the word immediately preceding the selbri cannot be part of a tanru, such as a  or a, ' can be omitted.
 * For instance, the statement, "  ' " requires the use of ', but "  ", "   ", and " " do not.
 *  can likewise be omitted when there is no word preceding the ; i.e., the selbri is the first word of the utterance.
 * However, the inclusion of  before a is never incorrect, even when unnecessary.


 * The use of  allows for elision of many types of grammatical terminators, specifically those that terminate elements that cannot contain a.
 * For instance, using  makes it unnecessary to use, which marks the end of a , because a sumti must always end where the selbri begins.
