Back somewhere around 1980, I did a small article for The Loglanist, suggesting that 1. The word-shape be changed to what Ceqli has now, the Consonant/vowel/weak system, and that 2. vocabulary be handled the Ceqli way, i. e., borrow words whole that fit the word shape, and 3. that 'sa' be introduced to keep predicates from combining. This of course assumes doing away with the multiple-allomorph system. Other than those points, the only changes I'd insist on in Loglan is to make names simply morpheme(s) with a T-word to distinguish them, and do away with anything beginning with a vowel and for the same reason not depend on pauses and things to keep words apart. -- >PLEASE NOTE MY NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS: rmay@hidden.email > Rex F.
