Re: [lojban] Speaker specificity: {.i da'i na vajni}



la .and. cu cusku di'e
Assigning /voi/ to {poi'i} -- excellent stuff! I'm delighted to hear
it's being used already. Rereading today some discussion from 12+ years
ago, I see {se ka} was also proposed, subject to instigation of a
convention for coercing added sumti places by addition of SE or FA.

Is there a list of cmavo recycling proposals?

Off the top of my head, here are most of the re-assignments that have been considered (and I mean considered, not settled by any means):

ce'u -> ce
ke'a -> ki
tu'a -> tau
jo'u -> jau
du'u -> du
su'o -> sa / su
poi'i -> voi

And there is this proposal to replace good ol' never-used {soi}:

This proposal is quite popular actually (among those who know about it).

(I also have a secret proposal to assign the currently un-assigned cmavo {ja'u} to {na ka'e na} (also known as {bi'ai}).

I saw somewhere a proposal
to recycle /du/, which I was initially a little consternated by, since
{le du} had seemed very useful to me (as meaning unbound "he, she, it,
they"), but I guess that could be got by {lo co'e}, with {co'e} meriting
a monosyllabic form.

What I would like even more is a better system of anaphoric pro-sumti and pro-bridi in general.
