There is no "right". What's the huge inconsistency of cmevla not being brivla? I followed the thread but apparently this is neither about "gaps" nor inconsistency. It's about changing things that work and worked fine for quite some time just because people call unnecessary "simplifications" progress - Lojban ba'e already is the most simple language (with a real user group) I know - instead of focussing on making the language more usable in everyday life (which I would call progress). Additionally, such discussions only split the community even further until everyone got "his/her personal xorlo". It's just that probably none of them would then ever be implemented for everyone. v4hn
