[lojban] -bom-/-nom- & KE



coi jbopre

I was thinking about -bom- and -nom-.
You may or may not know what those rafsi do, so I'll explain them here.
-bom- and -nom- surround an arbitrary number of rafsi in a lujvo,
and turn it into a name. One of them can be safely omitted when at the
beginning or end. For example: [kurty-nom]-vla = me la .kurt. valsi
(whatever the kurtV gismu is); or [bom-di'a] = me la dirba (actually,
this'd mean "'dear'" in English - as if it were in quotes).

We can think about -bom- and -nom- as ke and ke'e - one can skip -kem-
or -kep-/-ke'e- in a lujvo when the parenthesized part is at the end
or at the beginning. So if -bom- works like ke, it should be a rafsi
of a cmavo of KE!

Here's the question: would it be useful to have a KE that works like
-bom-/-nom- - turns the enclosed selbrisle into a selbrisle, the
meaning of which is the thing named by those selbrisle?
