(Mind you, you'd have to be extremely > convincing.) I suggest that you all look into the BPFK (the baupla fuzykamni), and its charter, to see what it is allowed to change. Nothing else is going to change. Let me take a moment and save you some time, as well. An overhaul of the morphology and vocabulary is not going to happen. However, there is no reason why you can't go off and make your own language and call it something else, and do whatever you please with it. (And, in fact, base it off of Lojban.) -- Jay Kominek If at first you don't succeed, Increase the amperage.
