Something a bit different: currently Ceqli has "be" which is the equivalent of Lojban "se"; it switches the first and second places of predicates and assorted other stuff. (Its additional function as a terminator, as in "beto", I think should be assigned to a different pinvor.) But if we've established that predicates can have 3 places, there needs to be a 1st-3rd switcheroo also. The series in Lojban is se, te, ve, xe. We only need two. I suggest: be, ge. To jump directly to a place, Lojban has fa, fe, fi, fo, fu. This could be adopted directly as fa, fe, fi. -- Rob Speer
