[lojban] Re: required commas (was Re: Stress of cmene)

Perhaps this was intending to refer to commas which don't change

E.g. s/Commas are never required/These commas are never required/.
But no one *actually* uses commas this way anyway.  They only really
use them to split up diphthongs (in cmene).
Well, my mistake. You are quite right of course, and although I was less than half serious in my first paragraph, I should not have drawn non-sensical conclusions for the pleasure of a bad joke. (And anyway
I did realise too late it was non-sensical).

I still think my proposals for default stress on cmene is a good solution though. And I still think that two cmenes should not be considered different if they differ
only in stress.

Best wishes,
