I think xod is confused about what was being said about midsentence
prenexes in another thread.
In fact, lojban allows new prenexes every time you enter a subclause.
What nick was talking about in that other thread was allowing new
prenexes in the middle of one clause (without going into a new
clause).
I dunno what the 'nixon' part is either though.
