Putting "cu" there is not wrong, just not needed, and I didn't notice it. But
grave accents on every brivla look a bit strange.

I haven't counted (I'm still reading the story, and I just passed the point
where she pulled Toto back in through the lolvro), but I think that the "cu"
made necessary by "cmevla are brivla" are more than the "noi" saved.


(This probably should derive to a new thread)

Word or syllable count is hardly relevant, the argument is for simplicity and regularity. You should consider the cognitive impact as well.

I should mention that I am still personally conservative in this matter. I tend to be conservative because I want to preserve the language unity while the corpus and community are small.
