I realize that one of the most important rule of the grammar of Glosa migh= t be changed ! In a phrase it might be better than we consider that a word= DO NOT modify the followed word. In fact it is, actually, the reality for= many words : tense markers, numbers, quantifiers, determinant=85 e.g. thi= s example in Robin Gaskell seminar : =AB ii. Sequence in Phrases a)= Noun Phrases Noun - Determinant - Numerator - Quantifier - Modifie= r(s) - ‘noun’ Marker EG. u plura tri-loba = mega alti, rubi
flori =BB

So, I think that, perhaps, it is better = to admit, in Pan-glosa, that in a group (phrase) a word modifies the last = word (i.e the important word (verb or noun)), except if a mark expressely = says that it modifies the word which follow it. I imagine the word ZI, whi= ch can be marked by letters (Zi) or by a special punctuation (~). If it is= a punctuation, it is not already necessery to say it if the mode of spea= king is clear.

e.g. u plura tri-loba mega ~ alti rubi flori e.g. u plura = tri-loba mega zi alti rubi flori

U, PLURA, TRI-LOBA, ALTI, RUBI, modify = FLORI, but MEGA modifies ALTI.

I am not sure if X ~ Y can have a differen= t meaning as X-Y.
