In my opinion, beginners should not feel uncomfortable tackling any of the existing texts as if they were correct. If they aren't quite perfect in some detail, what's the problem? You will eventually figure out what the correct form is, and a mistake here and there can even be helpful in the learning process: if you find a discrepancy between two texts, you have to investigate and figure out why they differ and which one is the correct form, or maybe whether they are both valid. Remember that each and every one of the currently more advanced Lojbanists had even less material to work with, so it is not an unsurmountable task. mu'o mi'e xorxes
