[lojban] Loglandic N-paradigm. Is it worthy of examination?
After the two languages split Loglan introduced optional case tags.It states that each sumti place can be assigned to a separate class, and no two sumti in any brivla can have sumti places that belong to the same class.
It probably aims at being easy to use, that is you should probably have no problems in choosing what case tag (i.e. preposition) to use for refering to any sumti.
Some of them like /jui/ for instance just reminds me of lojbanic {mau} (the problem with "than" in gismu definitions that was probably solved in Lojban).
In my opinion /dio/ leads to some language-specific metaphors (beneficiary being kinda destination).
But on the other hand, don't recent (and actually eternal) suggestions to remove some frequent sumti places suggest something similar?
