It was fun to look at that again. I bought my copy in 1975.
Loglan has the name marker "la", the definite article "le", and the
mass-predicate marker "lo". It marks salutation ("Joe!") by omitting
a marker.
And then things get heavy. Ya got yer demonstratives "ti" and "ta",
yer abstract descriptor markers "lopu", "lopo", and "lozo", and all
kinds of stuff.
I think, for a start, I could be happy with a small subset of
articles to cover the broad cases and then see what linguistic
evolution happens. Reserve the T-word forms, or at least a goodly
number of them, for future use.
