Hope it's okay to discuss conlang variations of Lojban on this list. As an 
armchair conlanger, I can't help but wonder about a few "what-ifs" as I 
read the CLL. One that keeps coming back to me is the idea that the last 
vowel of a brivla (is that the right word?) could specify the slot 
intended, instead of having to to use `se`, `te`, `ve` or `xe`. 

    klama     =>  klama
    se klama  =>  klame
    te klama  =>  klami
    ve klama  =>  klamo
    xe klama  =>  klamu

It just seems a very natural extension of the predicate nature of Lojban's 
words.
