Re: [lojban] Re: Proof that Lojban morphology is unambiguous

I don't believe there is a proof out there, but it is by no means
taboo to question whether Lojban actually achieves its stated goals.

To prove that the morphology is unambiguous, one would have to write
an algorithm that accepts an idealized representation of a speech
stream and decomposes it into a sequence of words. The algorithm would
not be able to consult a dictionary to do so.

If you're interested in working on this, I'd be interested in hearing
about it.
