Well, for everyone's delectation and probable total confusion, I've put up Prevli
syntax http://cinduworld.tripod.com/prevlisyntax.htm (minor format corrections
yet to be made, but the text is OK)

The part dealing with ambiguity is section 3.8c, about 4/5 of the way through,
plus an alternate version that I began.

I want to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions. I'm considering
some of them for incorporation into the language, which will require a certain
amount of reworking.........

I've come to agree that ambiguity need not be totally resolved-- especially in a
language like Prevli, which is usually not written (I haven't explained about
that yet-- the only alphabet they know is the Kash alphabet (formerly
syllabary), it's ill-adapted to Prevli, they don't much like the Kash people
and their world, and the elders and shamans haven't seen much need to introduce
writing.)
