A cmevla is any Lojban word that ends in a consonant.

Examples of (single) cmene that are not (single) cmevla are: "la'o gy
Starbucks gy", "la djan smit", "la selpa'i"

It is useful to be able to distinguish the special word form "cmevla"
from the more general notion of cmene. These two concepts used to be
confused when cmevla were called cmene, since not all cmene have the
form of cmevla.

CMENE is the name of the selma'o that consists of those things you are calling cmevla.

So not all cmene have the morphology of CMENE (since not all cmene are Lojban at all), but all of CMENE do.

I will continue to use the language baseline terminology, insofar as is possible.
