Verbing weirds language



I was thinking of Calvin's statement that "every noun can be verbed".

Then I considered how to say that in Lojban, before realising that it's 
probably meaningless there.

I think the equivalent in Lojban grammatical terms would be roughly 
"every brivla can be used as a selbri", but if you told a Lojbanist 
that, they'd probably react as if you had said "every gismu has five 
letters", since both statements are (to me) tautologies.
