[lojban] The definition of cmavo.



Current definition:
cmavo
x1 is a structure word of grammatical class x2, with meaning/function x3 in usage (language) x4.
x4 may be a specific usage (with an embedded language place) or a massified language description; x3 and x4 may be merely an example of cmavo usage or refer to an actual _expression_; cmavo list, if physical object (= (loi) ma'oste); referring to the mental construct (e.g. propose adding a new cmavo to the cmavo list = ma'orpoi, ma'orselcmi, ma'orselste). See also gismu, lujvo, gerna, smuni, valsi.


I suggest that cmavo2 is a la'e zo-quotation of a cmavo that represents the whole selma'o  ({lu'i}?)

so 
{zo a cmavo la'e zo a}. Otherwise we need a separate word for each selma'o (like e.g. {cmavrxavo}).
Since {zo a} is easier to remember than {cmavrxavo} and since other usages of cnmavo2 are unlikely to be useful i suggest changing (clarifying?) this definition

cmavo
x1 is a structure word of grammatical class x2 (la'e zo), with meaning/function x3 in usage (language) x4.
x2 is the prefixed with {la'e} {zo} cmavo that represents the class of structure words. x4 may be a specific usage (with an embedded language place) or a massified language description; x3 and x4 may be merely an example of cmavo usage or refer to an actual _expression_; cmavo list, if physical object (= (loi) ma'oste); referring to the mental construct (e.g. propose adding a new cmavo to the cmavo list = ma'orpoi, ma'orselcmi, ma'orselste). See also gismu, lujvo, gerna, smuni, valsi.
