No, I have always stuck to (A-E-O+I+), since I started learning Lojban in 1994. It is you who has gone through different variations.
<<Because {ro broda cu brode} is not {naku su'o broda naku brode} for importing{ro} and {su'o}. >> And so? When do you want to say this and why?
Sometimes we want to transform an expression with one quantifier in terms of the other for greater clarity, for example.
<<ro broda cu brode = ge su'o de broda gi ro da zo'u ganai da broda gi da brodeno broda cu brode = no da zo'u ge da broda gi da brode su'o broda cu brode = su'o da zo'u ge da broda gi da brodeme'iro broda cu brode = ge su'o de broda gi me'iro da zo'u ganai da broda gida brode >> No, since I would take (history again) all the broda forms as primitive and the ones in terms of {da} as short for {Q zasti zo'u ... zy ...}.
I really don't see what you mean here.
Lojban is trying to be a human language, not a logical formulary, after all.
