[lojban] Re: everyday lojban

["Matt Arnold" <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

Someone here might be able to correct me, but it seems that every
series of letters that is used as a cmavo (a word) is also used as
rafsi syllable (a prefix or suffix), and all rafsi are also used as
cmavo. (Or almost all.) When Lojban is spoken properly,  the listener
can always tell whether it's being used as a cmavo or rafsi.
