I honestly don't understand what you are talking about here.

Well, having an explicit cmavo means not having to rely on pragmatics
(which in Lojbanistan are often low-bandwidth: IRC and e-mail are the
lion's share). This can still be useful even if the formal parser will
not be helped by the cmavo.

But I see what you mean and I agree. Being able to be explicit about
this is not an urgent expressive need at this time.

Thank you for what has so far been an interesting conversation.
