Correction: "dl" and "tl" are permitted in Lojban if the two consonants are in 
different syllables, but not if they are both in the onset of the same 
syllable. E.g. "fatlutfa'i", "badle'o". "dl" is a permitted initial in 
Russian; I don't know for sure about "tl".

Irregularities in the list of permitted combinations and permitted initials: 
"ms" is permitted but "mz" is not; "cm", "cn", and "jm" are permitted initials 
but "jn" is not; similarly "zn".

Some pairs of gismu differ by exchanging two letters and are similar in 
meaning: ractu/ratcu, stuzi/stizu, garna/grana. Other groups of gismu differ in 
one letter and are similar in meaning: carce/marce/karce, culno/mulno.

Some sets of cmavo are phonetically related (zi, za, zu); others are not 
(du'a, be'a, vu'a, ne'u). The ko'a-series and fo'a-series are phonetically 
related but should not be, as within each series, they differ in the unstressed 
vowel, making it easy to mistake which sumti one is referring to.

The symmetry of the logical conjunction matrix is broken by the sentence 
separator.
