Re: [lojban-beginners] Looking for a definition

I see two issues, neither necessarily wrong. 

First, it doesn't need to start with {.i} since it's not a continuation of a previous utterance. 

Second, I think {zo'e} is redundant. If a third argument were used after {binxo}, {zo'e} would serve the function of filling the second argument and thereby marking the next as the third, but here it just fills the second argument with an explicit "doesn't matter/don't know", which is what a blank already means.

For the longest time I have said: "Nothing is Constant except Change." I wanted to translate my intent to lojban and wound up with:"Everything Always Changes." Would an appropriate translation be: .i roda roroi binxo zo'e.
