In the above, trying to reduce a Xorban _expression_ using experimental double binding, I carelessly left two "lu" binders that that I should have removed.  The _expression_ should be:

la liku ja je "/O/"i "/o/"u je "/E/"i "/e/"u frcikuka

The original was:

la ja li "/O/"i lu "/o/"u frcikuka li "/E/"i lu "/e/"u frcikuka

Which better shows the difference, which could be much bigger if frcikuka were replaced with a complex formula.
