If, as he says, the usage is only }pedagogical, probably the better approach is to NOT add the cmavo to the }language and NOT use it in the place structure paper, but instead use a }different pedagogical method to explain what is happening when you eliminate }a place. Fair enough. Since I never intended an official cmavo out of it anyway, I'll reword the paper appropriately, to avoid using a xo'e. When do papers for the protodictionary have to be in by? I intend to finish off my lujvo paper with chapters on place order, prominent paradigms, and worked examples, but with the exception of Easter break, I'll have little time for it until July... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nick S.
