> .i mi lu mi prami do cuskuThe ONLY usage I can recall seeing of this type of sentence is when
experts are showing off their mastery of the obscurities! I can parse
them fine, ever since being put through that rite of passage myself,
but I doubt the language would be much poorer without them. OTOH
they'd be very useful on the forum I've been considering making
(perhaps called "lujyjbo") for intentionally convoluted and obscure
Lojban! I thought it could be fun sport if we gathered somewhere far
away from the confused newbies and made Lojban dance with strange
elisions and deep embedding and the layered SE shell game, etc. Even
for that purpose, though, I'm not sure there's anything especially
worthwhile about this quirk! It's not like Lojban has any shortage of
obscurations to play with.
