Maybe. I guess I'm very wrong in finding Xorban not too different from
Lojban. I do think gua\spi does better than Lojban in certain regards,
for instance in its root word definitions and in how much simpler than
Lojban it is. And I think that's why I reacted like that upon seeing all
these additional proposals to Xorban, which seemed complete in its
simplicity, just like gua\spi, but I might have mistaken mere throwing
around ideas for serious proposals. Ah I remember now, one thing I
didn't like was how you (pl) decided to implement compounds in Xorban.
Having no regularity in them and only using the roots for mnemonic
purposes seemed like a cheap solution, and less compositional than I
would prefer. If the definitions of the roots were adjusted slightly, a
compound system akin to the one used in gua\spi would be much more to my
liking, and feels more logical to me. However, I seem to not understand
what "logical" even means.
