Thomspon/Lojban correspondence

[Ben Webster <bwebste@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxx]

Is anyone here familiar with Thompson, a Salishan language spoken in
southwestern Canada? I read a bit about its structure for a linguistics
class, and it seems to have interesting parallels to Lojban. Rather than
nouns and verbs, it is organized into predicates (or majors) and
particles, roughly corresponding to brivla and cmavo. Just curious as
to whether its structure was noted in the development of Lojban or
Loglan.
