[lojban-beginners] Re: coi ro do



I see. From what I can tell, "xorlo" is some sort of proposal for reform of the article system of Lojban. But I have two questions:

- The gadri proposal was "has now been accepted by a vote of 11 to 0 by the BPFK". The proposal seems to date from 2004. Are there plans to edit the reference grammar (and The Complete Lojban Language physical book) to reflect these new guidelines, or is there still not enough consensus in the community, or has there not been enough resources to edit the book? - The proposal has information on the new meanings of the non- deprecated articles, but none on the deprecated articles. (For instance, why was it decided that the articles for typical and stereotypical objects should be deprecated, and what should I use instead?) I found couple of old mailing list messages, but they're hard to follow. Where could I find more information on the proposal's deprecation?

I only speak for myself, but yes, I recommend them for general usage.

Do they override the guidelines of the reference grammar?

Not officially, at least not yet. But the question was about "xorlo",
which is not mentioned in the reference grammar.

Are lo'e, le'e, lo'i, etc. really deprecated?

By me, yes. Officially, not.
