RECORD: place structure.



The places of a gismu are {te gismu} and of a bridi {te bridi}  What for a
brivla?
The places of a brivla are restricted to those essential to the meaning of 
the predicate, with those most likely to be dropped contextually placed later 
in left-to-right order.  There are some other regulaities of order as well: 
agent tends to be first, sender precedes recipient, but destination precedes 
origin.  In any case, it is a design principle of Loglan that memorizing even 
a completely arbitrary set of predicate places would be easier than learning 
bare predicates plus an indefinite set of preposition/cases and the ways that 
they might combine.
