And to do a small simplification on it, to illustrate just how painful that sentence really is, the semantically equivalent version: N = buffalo from Buffalo (N [that] N buffalo) buffalo N. The dropping of the [that] is legal, if sometimes ambiguous, in English. > I didn't say it was *good* English, but it is *legal* English.
