Re: [lojban] cmevla as a class of brivla
la .pycyn. cu cusku di'e
I do think this talk about a documented baseline has about worn out its
usefulness.
Yes! Finally someone says this openly.
It started when it became clear that the grammar in CLL did
not correspond to what anybody was doing in Lojban. But it was
predicated on somebody actually doing the documentation and in the
intervening two decades, no one has even made a pass at that. So, why
not go back to CLL. Say that *is* the baseline and largely wrong and
then start to build the new normal, incorporating suggestions as they
come along and get accepted, rather than waiting for the Baseline (who
is do a week after the Messiah and two after Elijah).
I would love that.
That ids, in
fact, the way people have been behaving for most of Lojban's history but
there have been no controls on them because "it is not yet the time to
make changes". Too bad, the changes just get made, even if they are
dumb. Better to hash them out and issue decrees now then try to patch
things up later (much later, since after the baseline).
That's kind of what I keep saying.
So, for example, I use dotside prime. (and am thinking about dropping
{la} with cmevla).
Hehe :P. You would still need to show how you would distinguish between
{mi klama .paris. .berlin.} "I go to Paris from Berlin" and {mi klama
.paris.berlin.} "I go to Paris-Berlin" (whatever that is). How do you
distinguish between cmevla strings that form a single sumti together and
cmevla strings that don't? You cannot simply remove the middle dot
there, because *{.parisberlin.} has an illegal consonant pair. I assume
you would use a JOI to glue them and have them be seperate otherwise?
