Those of you without time/ability to read the Lojban might might the
topic interesting: xorxes was pointing out four places where I used
a COI cmavo as though it was UI (i.e., without following it with a
name).  xorxes expressed his desire for COI cmavo to actually
grammatically be like UI cmavo (which I'm inclined to agree with).

It is worth noting that xorxes and I are both in the top 5 of
conversational speakers of Lojban (he's better with the formalities
than I am, I'm probably better at speaking it real-time than he is,
although I wouldn't bet on it).
