(btw, there was "t" too many in my previous mail... I meant that it's not as easy to grasp as it is to learn once the basics are grasped)

Well... this whole place-structure business seemed a bit wierd to me at first. Especially as, when I learnt lojban, it was with an ancient series of lessons written by Athelstan, which, once the place-structure was explained, spent some effort explaining the SE cmavo along with how all the zo'e could be removed... 

Any way, after a while, I'd "grasped" how lojban grammar usually works. From there, adding NU or BE was reasonably easy = "learning"
