go djin. I am a person go sur. I am on top go ga. I am big It would, of course, have the same loglan effect as: go dja. I go, or, I am a goer.We would lose, of course, the ability to have "go fiq to hon" I finger the book. But I think that's overrated anyway.
One advantage to this is that with nouns becoming verblike, we would be able to more honestly give them arguments:
go pamo zi, helukozo. I am your father, Luke. ciba bayn go. This is my leg.Again, I'm mostly concerned about whether this will screw anything up that we already have.
Now, Loglan has the feature of the word 'je' that has this effect, translating to Tceqli:
ciba bra go. This is my arm To bra je go, da peyn. My arm hurts.And this would therefore be more specific than "gosa bra, da peyn" because the latter could conceivably refer to an arm associated with me in another way. Like a nurse would say that the patient's arm she's dealing with hurts that way. A stretch in this case, but maybe useful elsewhere.
Reactions?Oh, I'm looking for a good word for 'intelligent,' preferable reversible.
