The ONLY thing that ends in a consonant is a name, and so names become
easy to pick out due to the fact that we rarely use them in
conversation, and they sound nothing like the rest of the language.
{la cribe} is a name (cmene) too, and it sounds like {lo cribe}.
The word class that ends with a consonant is cmevla. And this class has experimental usages for other than what we usually consider names. {sa'ei}, for instance, marks a cmevla as onomatopoeia.
On
that mental parse tree, if we used "xorla", I would now have to stop
and question every single cmevla to check whether or not it's being
used as a selbri.
(a) lo me la spagetis
(b) lo spagetis
With (a), you analyse {spagetis}'s relation to {la} to {me} to {lo}, resulting in the interpretation "that which is called {spagetis}".
With (b), you analyse {spagetis}'s relation to {lo}, resulting in the interpretation "that which is called {spagetis}".
In either case, you 'check' the syntax of {... spagetis}. Which syntax is simpler? In which case do you have to 'stop and question' less? (b). That's one thing the proposal would achieve.
