History: currently proposed experimental cmavo

Source of version: 18 (current)

See also ((Obsolete experimental cmavo)). For conciseness, some series of cmavo have been condensed into one entry. In these, ''V'' represents the last vowel of the cmavo, and ''N'' represents the number in the series (a=1 ... u=5). (Incidentally, I'd like to ask whoever's proposing these to perhaps let this space be used for new constructs, not just single-word abbreviations for 2-4 other words.) -- ((rab.spir)) * feel free to add links to new pages that subdivide the experimentals into 'new constructs' vs 'abbreviatory'. But this list is a catalogue of all experimental cmavo not declared obsolete by their proposer. --((And)) ||__((a'a'a))__|UI|Please repeat; I couldn't parse __((ba'oi))__|ROI|possible futures ROI: "p (= bridi) in PA possible future worlds (sharing same past as q) in which q (= sumti tagged by ba'oi)": (cf. mu'ei): (proposed by ((AndR))) __((bei'e))__|MAI|Placed as an evidential.
