Re: [lojban-beginners] Lujvo forming with cmavo rafsi



Luke, I just quoted you on the Suggestions for CLL second edition
page, in addition to reorganizing that page to include more topics.

I added a specific area for topics (like Lujvo) that appear in many
areas of the book and need to be checked for consistency as well as
updated.
