Re: [lojban] cmevla as a class of brivla
la .betsemes. cu cusku di'e
coi rodo
While reading the other thread on commands, I noticed this sentence by la gleki:
"e'i si ei si xoi si sei bilga mi bazu troci lo ka stika lo tatoebas jufra"
"lo tatoebas jufra" is ungrammatical according to standard lojban, but
I have been seeing around that de facto may be different from the
standard. I now think that standard lojban naming rules are broken,
and using cmevla as brivla is the way to go, at least on the field of
naming. I found this old conversation:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/lojban/rSXFTFeMA_o
in which Robin said the rules weren't broken. I now strongly disagree.
So my question is what's de facto on this subject?
From what I've seen, there are a small handful of people who are in
support of the merge of BRIVLA and CMEVLA, but that the majority is
still strongly opposed, sadly.
For me, the Merge is actually even more important than the GIJA reform.
The restriction on CMEVLA seems arbitrary and it introduces exceptions
to the language that are hard to justify. (We can put {ku} after {lo
broda} but not after {la .brodas.}, though after {la broda} is fine.)
Using names in tanru is extremely cumbersome, even though humans would
normally tend to use names in such places a lot.
It'd be nice to hear what others think, but my hopes aren't too high,
although realistically I feel it's inevitable in the long run. Off the
top of my head, I know of around 5 people who are in favor (excluding
xorxes), and the current authorities all seem opposed.
