Then I think my claim is false then, since I thought I'd got this position
from you (albeit a long time ago). Soz. (I don't think any harm was done,
for I doubt anyone believed me...)

I take it then that while "la born" is grammatical, "la borno" isn't.
I presume that the current machine parser is not a grammaticality
tester.
