Thanks for your interest.  I can't advocate the proposal at this time
due to time constraints but do you remember:

Choose *any card.
Bring *any sandwich.
Direct translation of one of the meanings of any or cualquiera.

I regard predicate calculus, and hence lojban, as abstract european
speech, and I think we should honor the connection, even as we build in
grammar alternatives which accomodate the majority in the world.

As I recall it this proposal is a slightly altered version of one first
put forth by you and jorge.

All the best,
djer
