Re: [ceqli] connectives



Another thought:

Loglan uses 4 vowels for the primary connectives:

a e o u.

i is used as a sort of vague connective.

Anyhow, my first thought way back was to pretty much keep the Loglan system
but adapt it to ceqli phonology.  So maybe, since ceqli has 4 basic
diphthongs, they can replace the vowels.  Loglan and ceqli equivalents,
thus:

e - and - kay
a - and/or - key
o - if and only if - kaw
u - whether or not - koy

And i can be replace by ki.

that would mean:

noa > bukey
anoi > keybu
