I agree that the current place structure is completely broken, and I personally always use 'xruti' non- agentively; however, since it is a baseline change I don't think that the definition should be changed. Everyone is encouraged to use 'xruti' non-agentively (which shouldn't be very hard), and hopefully at the the baseline period, or whenever the gismu are defined in lojban, the only naturaly possibility will be to make 'xruti' non-agentive. It might be possible to slip the change in 'xruti' in as a change which was agreed upon, but for whatever reason not implemented, in which case 'xruti' would be an exception. However, the point still stands in relationship to other broken parts of the baseline. If you make official baseline changes, some people will say that 'they're still changing the language' and refrain from learning it. mu'o mi'e .adam. ------------------------ Yahoo!
