[lojban-beginners] Re: coi ro do



Oh, I'm kind of confused now. Are these general guidelines for general usage? Do they override the guidelines of the reference grammar? Are lo'e, le'e, lo'i, etc. really deprecated?

Can someone point me to a succinct explanation and history of xorlo please?

Succint explanation:
(1) "lo" is the only member of selma'o LE that you need, and "la" the
only one from selma'o LA.
(2) Never ever use "lo'e", "le'e", "lo'i", "le'i", "la'i".
(3) Avoid "loi", "lei" and "lai".
(4) Use "le" only if you are absolutely convinced that's what you want.

You may also want to look at:

I will leave the succint history to someone else.
