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.
