I aka Mednak have just created on Wikipedia a new page dedicated to
Lojban grammar:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban_grammar
The article is imperfect and may be partly erroneous. Please help
correct and expand it.

I've briefly looked at it. In the brivla section I read "brivla may be identified by the following properties: [...] Start with a consonant". Obviously, this is the case for gismu and lujvo. However, I've seen some fu'ivla that start with a vowel (for example, jbovlaste lists agbakate as a fu'ivla for avocado).

To be honest, when I saw a fu'ivla starting in a vowel for the first time I didn't believe that it was a valid fu'ivla. But now I'm pretty sure that fu'ivla may start with a vowel under certain circumstances.
