title: LaTeX tabbing overlap
body: <p>I'm having some frustration with the LaTeX tabbing environment.</p>
  
  <p>For example, in this code the who-GEN friend-PL end up overlapping:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  \begin{tabbing}
      Aarude \= suhrthukalanu \= ayirunnathu? \\
      who-{\sc gen} \&gt; friend-{\sc pl} \&gt; happy-{\sc past}? \\
      `Whose friends were happy?'
    \end{tabbing}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So what I've been doing so far is manually adding space, like Aarude \hspace{8pt}\= ... but this doesn't seem like a good solution. </p>
  
  <p>Is there anyway for the tabbing environment to automatically avoid these overlaps?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks very much in advance for any help!</p>
