I'm sure that com= ing up with a system that fulfilled the same design goals as Lojban but di= dn't require learners to memorize 0-3 extra combining forms for every root= word would not prove to be overly ambitious.


One possibility would be to create the rafsi first, perhaps using all= the CVC and CCV forms, neither of which can be a cmavo, then adding more= or less arbitrary -CV to each one to make a gismu.  Thus the first= three letters of each gismu would provide a unique rafsi.
