[lojban] Canonically context-dependent experimental cmavo?

[Daniel Brockman <daniel@brockman.se>]

<dbrock> I wonder if it would be a good idea to pick one cmavo as the
    canonical “undefined cmavo”
<dbrock> any obvious candidates for that?
<dbrock> probably something with {x} in it
<xalbo> Why?
<dbrock> mostly just seems like something Lojban should have
<dbrock> and would make it simpler to discuss new cmavo
<dbrock> we wouldn’t have to worry about picking a form just to be able to
    discuss it, but could just use {broda ze’ei xau} or {xau} for short
    (if {xau} were the canonically undefined cmavo)
<dbrock> well, canonically context-dependent experimental cmavo I guess
    would be a more accurate definition
<dbrock> it would be sort of an explicit escape hatch out of the standard
    grammar
<dbrock> and people wouldn’t have wonder if they saw it; they would *know*
    that it was temporary and experimental
<xalbo> Weird.  But I guess it might be useful, under weird circumstances.
<dbrock> weird circumstances in lojbanistan: SNAFU
<xalbo> zo snafu .u'ivla
<dbrock> u'i ie
