How would one refer to one's mother in Lojban? Perhaps "mamta"? Perhaps the cmene "mam" for short (since it is a rafsi)? What about one's father - "patfu" or "paf"? Would a baby have trouble saying these things? It seems to me babies like to say things that end in vowels - perhaps we just encourage that here in the U.S.
