Bremenli, You said: Sketching what the language specifications and requirements must have been to come up with the language we got. I'm figuring out whether a better morphophonology could have met the requirements. It should be much simpler. Have you asked lojbab? He understands the process and the specifications because hewas part of its creation. karis |

He's right, of course. It should be much simpler. But Lojban inherited a lot from Loglan, including all the mistakes JCB made in the first few days. The result has been a 60year quest to get back what was thrown away and that quest has taken the form of countless incremental adjustments, rather than scrapping the whole thing and starting from just before the first mistakes. Lojban did also jettison some things Loglan had right, but these were less significant. pycyn, who was there before the creation. Sent from my iPad |

As a follow-up: Have these two courses (Crash Course and Wave Lessons) been clearly identified as non-official or corrected to it yet? From reading the entirety of the conversation I believe this was the solution to neither course being so marked or solely teaching official lojban. I'm posting this here so the answers are accessible to all. [I am currently unable to provide earlier posts along with mine. That is why I provided short explanatory comments.] Karis |
