Coi rodo,

in a noisy verbal interaction, for instance, on a phone call (but this
applies to any case, indeed), it is good for communication that the
elements of signal can be easily distinguished, so as to avoid
reception errors.

This is achieved by natlangs, by sparsing all the existing words (for
instance, adverbs) in such a "morphologic space" that has very few
collisions.   For instance, the english words for "few", "many", "a
lot" and "none" are phonologically very different of each other, so
there is little chance you could confuse them by hearing them on a
deficient phone.

But this is not the case of lojban words, for instance so'a, so'e,
so'i, so'o etc. are very near of each other, and, assuming you don't
hear well the last vowel, you could infer something very far from what
was intended by the other speaker.

So, is not that something that is annoying ?
