The policy of usage determining officialdom in the grammar seems to waver
insecurely when it comes to what I've seen of bajra. Now I always like how
bajra was handled, place structure-wise, but then I noticed in the
self-teaching lessons it is consistently used with a place structure of "x1
runs to x2 from x3 via x4", so I shrugged it off because there were a number
of such errors to be weeded out of those lessons, but then I encountered it
in the reference grammar (Chapter 7, I believe), and it appears a more
efficient way to communicate that one runs to two from three would be with
bajra klama. If I'm looking at anomolous usage, I'd figure the usefulness of
the dictionary bajra would take precedence.

Also, where can I look at a general (tentative) schedule of LLG's priorities
as to freezing of various levels of description, publications, and so forth.
