Re: [lojban] One end cmavo to rule them all

[Ross Ogilvie <ross@rossogilvie.id.au>]

"We can't close any open clauses until we've closed that most recent one". This only sort of true. If there are a stack of open clauses, we can close several at a time by closing one in the middle of the stack, which forces all the ones more recent than that to close. If there was only one word for closing, you would have to repeat it a lot, and people aren't so good at numerically counting levels.

Why are there so many "end-whatever" cmavo? We can't close any open clauses until we've closed that most recent one, correct? So why not just have one "end current clause" cmavo?
