.i xu lo rozgu poi lo drata cu cmene ke'a ku'o na dunli fileka melbi panci ---- From the Lojban web site FAQ (http://www.lojban.org/files/brochures/faq.htm): __cmene__: Lojban names Any word used in Lojban as a name. Often used (loosely) in English to refer specifically to the special morphological class (((selma'o))) of CMENE, which must end in a consonant, and not include the syllables ''la'', ''lai'', and ''doi''. cmene in Lojban involve LA followed by either CMENE or ((selbri)). Lojban can distinguish between the non-terminal __cmene__ and the selma'o CMENE (''selma'o po'u la cmene''), but it makes a good deal of sense to refer to CMENE words in Lojban at least as __cmevla__. ''I think that a __cmevla__ is a __valsi lo cmene__, and thus is minimally different from just __cmene__ in this respect. (((selbri)) used as names are also words used as names. For those Lojban words ending in consonants, I think that __cmeseltai__ could work, or __cmeseltaivla__.'' ''((cmene)) isn't a ((selma'o))!'' --((Jay Kominek|jay)) ''No, it's a ((lexeme)), but we end up using ((selma'o)) (q.v.) to mean ((lexeme)).'' ''um. but thats wrong... if you want a word for word class, use vlalei, not the word for cmavo class.'' It's certainly bogus to call CMENE a selma'o, though the internal code of the parser does (as well as BRIVLA). In Lojban, a better term such as vlalei would be preferred. Then there are 3 vlalei and 120+ selma'o. (JWC, [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lojban/message/9513) ---- Prose] by ((nitcion)) is very easy to identify; he consistently forgets about the rule againt ''la''.
