This may not have been your intention, but so we're clear: the thing
on the left is not how I write Lojban for publication; it needs
dots.  If your intention was to show two forms that you find OK,
then nevermind, but if your intention was to compare normal Lojban
orthography to your version, you've erected a straw man.

Which totally isn't your fault, because xorxes has a dot allergy.  I
consider Lojban without dots harder to read, because "i" is a lot
harder to scan for than ".i", and I was intending to cage match to
the death on this issue before being OK with the LLG publishing "la
.alis.".
