[lojban] inflect, conjugate, decline, and other grammar terms

[Pierre Abbat <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

How should we express these terms?
inflect - I'm thinking {ja'ocne} (x1 varies in x2, showing x3, or something 
like that)
conjugate, decline. Verbs conjugate, nouns and adjectives decline - but is the 
Russian past tense conjugated or declined?
derive - e.g. forming {nunbroda} from {broda}. Unlike most languages in which 
they are single words, the comparative {rodmau} and superlative {rodrai} are 
compounds, not derivations.
person - we have words for "first-person pronoun" (mibma'o) and "second-person 
pronoun" (donma'o), but what's just "person"?
