Since, cmeme are not re= lated to meaning, the expression
"la marca" can be unambiguously de-composed in to "la" followed by
a brivla, even if that brivla is meaningless, so as long as the
"la" is followed by a morphologically correct tanru, brivla, or
cmevla, the use of meaningless brivla (inculding meaningless gismu)
is not ambiguous, as long if it is morphologically correct; that what
I mean about "taking liberties with the morphology"; it's technically
legal, but pushing the boundaries of what was meant to be done.


Since I don't want to push that particular boundary at the moment, I= change "stevo" to the cmevla "stevon" in Lojban.
