Re: [lojban] Fu'ivla diphthongs was: Official Statement- LLG Board approves new baseline policy




Okay, I've found in chapter 4 of the Book the word {kuarka}, and its type-3
version {saskrkuarka}, which it claims are valid fu'ivla. If indeed {ua}
cannot occur in fu'ivla, as it cannot in lujvo, then this has to be either
{ku'arka} or {ku,arka}. Which is it?

It is NOT that "ua" is not permitted in a fu'ivla (I can't specifically recall a prohibition, at least), but that it is not clear that kuarka, ku,arka, and ku'arka can be considered as *different* words because of the alternate orthography (which would be unusable if we allowed all VV's to exist in both diphthong and non-diphthong forms).
