Gad, the names thing bugs me. I guess, in theory, Ceqli or Loglan or Lojban could have an infinite number of names, far more than any other word form. And I'm all right with the "La" system, tho the ending with a consonant still seems severely clunky to me, which is why I want to go with the -zo suffix, which is itself annoying in that it requires an extra syllable. Most languages, from English to Esperanto, seem to get past this problem by paying no attention to it, which is tempting, but a cop-out. Or is it? Is there a problem with calling Japan "to japanhaym"? Gobreadland? to bil kai to jan, da ja to japanhaym. Bill and John go to Japan.
