I'm not at all happy about you running the SE onto the front of the
BRIVLA. The one place where the spoken/written isomorphism of lojban is
a little strained is in identifying brivla - the criteria for
distinguishing them in speech and writing, while (I believe)
demonstrably isomorphic, are different - stress vs. word-breaks. Thus
"sectuca" and "secmene" are confusing. Of course you can use the rafsi
instead of the cmavo: "selctuca" and "selcmene" (I haven't checked that
those CCC's are allowed, but they seem OK to me).
