I'm not usually into relativising everything to death, but, clearly, that i=
s an ideal---or a chimaera. An absence, too, of particular nuances in your =
speech pattern is information.

I think I understand what you are saying, though.

O.K. But I mean, if Lojban 'standard procedure', or literature convention, =
were to use {lu}/{li'u}, then their intentional non-usage per se would be p=
otentially meaningful/interpretable. (This is somehow parallel to the stuff=
 above about [absence of] voice patterns.)

The question is: Is there an established Lojban standard procedure for text=
s like lo cmalu noltru? Possibly, I don't read enough Lojban to know. (Hope=
fully will.)
