Hope it's okay to discuss conlang variations of Lojban on this list. As an armchair conlanger, I can't help but wonder about a few "what-ifs" as I read the CLL. One that keeps coming back to me is the idea that the last vowel of a brivla (is that the right word?) could specify the slot intended, instead of having to to use `se`, `te`, `ve` or `xe`. 

    klama     =>  klama

    se klama  =>  klame

    te klama  =>  klami

    ve klama  =>  klamo

    xe klama  =>  klamu

It just seems a very natural extension of the predicate nature of Lojban's words.

That would work for gismu, but not for brivla in general, unless you also drastically reduce the number of available rafsi.

Yea, it would effect the rafsi. Not sure how that would work. Don't think it has to be "drastic" though, but it would significant.
