Is there a list of cmavo usage frequency, the way the gismu file has
frequency in it?




I doubt it.  The frequency for the gismu is for the source words, not the
gismu themselves (I think) and the correlation between cmavo and anything in
source langauges is pretty iffy (not that that between gismu and anything in
the sources is that clearcut).  I don't think really accurate frequencies *in
Lojban* are possible yet, given the instability of the corpus -- and its
reliance on English et al.
