So 'da' has come to be the 'one' element of this one, that one, etc, while serving as a default 3rd person pronoun. However! I fully intend to follow the Loglan idea of a set of pronouns that work this way. To pamo pa ten ta gun sta to dom. Go ten g do. G bu sta d. P do bu ten g. the father had a gun in the house. I have it now. It isn't in it. He now doesn't have it. In short, a word that begins with consonant X is denoted by the pronoun X. There will be fourteen such pronouns: b c d f g h j k p s t v x z The question is, how are these letters pronounced? I'm inclined to think we should have maximum redundancy, but be monosyllabic. baw, cay, dey, foy, guy, hya, jye , kyo, pyu, swe, twi, vwo, xwu, zyaw. Maybe. Or not go for that and simply have. buy, cuy, duy... figuring on the 'uy' diphthong having mimimal use elsewhere. Suggestions? >PLEASE NOTE MY NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS: rmay@hidden.email > Rex F.
