My opinion, for what it is worth (I don't have a veto), is that if this
is an actual change to the morphology as it was defined fora couple of
decades, then the fact that Jorge has to raise such questions means that
the proposal was not specified completely enough to be properly debated,
much less decided.
Especially knowing that Jorge could read any recorded
discussion/proposal in Lojban, unlike many of the rest of us (including
Nora who did much of the later work and explication of morphology issues).
I also don't recall any mention of this as a proposal approved by byfy,
and reported to the members or the Board by the byfy jatna
This proposal should not be incorporated into CLL without a proper
documentation, discussion and decision.
There is no evidence that such
has taken place.
