Nope, that would be perfectly fine. Lojban does, after all, allow you to omit sumti when you think it's clear from context what they are (or just unimportant), so if you mean {mi cavlu'i mi}, you can say {mi cavlu'i}, or {cavlu'i mi}. Or {mi se cavlu'i}, or {fe mi cavlu'i}! --Warrigal (aka uorygl) --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
