Agreed. While cu is a very versatile cmavo, and is quite frequently used specifically because of this, I doubt there is a single jbopre among us who does not think that teaching terminators is /extremely/ important, /especially/ in the very beginning.

When cu is eventually introduced, it's function is made much more clear and understandable as a result, as well.

You may think it's easier without ku, but it will cause problems for the students later on. I strongly recommend teaching full terminators from the beginning on. Teach how to elide them a bit later. Trust the people here who tell you to teach terminators. We have a lot of experience teaching beginners and this method has proven effective again and again.

My point was to teach in the form of

{lo broda cu brode lo brodi lo brodo be lo brodu}

In this case student can learn only "lo".

Otherwise they will have to learn

{lo broda ku brode lo brodi ku lo brodo be lo brodu [ku ku]}

which is a bit more bulky and harder to understand.

{lo} without looks like "a" or "the" in English.

{lo ... ku} looks like a programming language which is not easy for everyone.

Is it possible to completely get rid of {ku} in speech ? Can we rearrange words in extreme cases and use other cmavo like {kei} and {cu} ?
