Re: [lojban-beginners] Should I propose an experimental cmavo? (was non-urgent research request to help Lojban.)

[an observative] ... and wish to quickly communicate
it to someone else.“

And (IMO) "Remember, I'm coming" is just the case, "I" wishes to communicate the «fact of his coming» to someone (who is supposed to remember that; I've skipped it).
 
I'm not sure what
you're saying with '(±tense/aspect/whatever).' Could you spell it out
for me?

Never mind. I'm just not sure, whether the "i'm coming" means "ca'o klama", or "ba mo'u klama", or something else.

I don't think you understand my question.

I think, you have not understood my answer. Excuse me for that, please. I'm trying to say, that the fact of By communicates something to Cy already means, that By wants Cy to "make note". Otherwise By can just shut up, clear an already said with "su", or emit a direct order, like "ko co'u morji". That already gives us both ends of the scale, unless we need something like "<attention=2.718> I'm coming!". Do we need it? And (ta'o ... ta'onai) is quite close to middle of the scale, "I'd say that, but let's focus on other thing".

similar to other BAI attitudinals. My question is: is there really no
attitudinal or cmavo for this concept? My syllogism is: if there is
not, then I wish to propose it as an experimental cmavo. 

So, AFAIK  we don't have a distinct word. And, probably, do not need, as the other things have the same effect.
