I do trust you all not to secretly redesign the language over the course of one weekend. Also, I (and presumably latro'a) don't expect any of you to like whatever cmavo we come up with. They're usually unnecessary, but it's amusing to reflect of whatever might possibly find its way into the language. As for tense-encoded selbri, there're *gismu* that do this, so it's already a part of the language. That is, if {facki} isn't {co'a djuno} then I don't know what it is. {klamu'o} is a perfectly decent jvajvo (mulkla, on the other hand, AWFUL, but hopefully no one will ever use that). FWIW, if someone should ask me {.i lo fasnu cu clani je'i barda} I'd answer {na'i}. On 8 July 2012 14:42, la .lindar. wrote: > Oh dear gods people!
