(And also that each word can be followed by an explicit-sentence.) Should "JA formula" really be a term, or should we rather have: formula := CCA | term formula | JA formula formula | foretree formula | formula aftertree aftertree := HI | term aftertree | JA aftertree aftertree foretree := HE | term foretree | JA foretree foretree term := NA | LA formula ? co ma'a xrxe
