You've just defined my dream language: Lojban with a morphology that
doesn't suck.

Ceqli started out by changing Loglan's morphology to something very
similar to that (and somewhat more appealing, by treating certain
consonants as vowels, resulting in less-crunchy words like "bala") - but
then it went all fuzzy and non-logical. My ideal language would be
Lojban with the words simply mapped one-to-one into a new morphology
(with the exception of the extra tanru-maker word).

That way it would be trivial to convert from Lojban to the new language
and back.
