currently proposed experimental cmavo

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 Rosta

zei'a A|(< zenba) following string of digits counts upwards from the units. E.g. zei'a pa re ci vo = 4,321. (< And Rosta)

Other proposals and questions about cmavo that we might need

• A Cmavo for Unspecific Previously-Uttered Bridi

Addendum by John:

And Rosta's current view of some of these cmavo:

Some of my proposals, such as {sa'ei} are merely useful (in the Swiss army knife sense) rather than indispensable. Those that are very useful and lack any clear intrabaseline alternative are mu'ei, ba'oi, ca'ai, ka'ei, nu'oi.

• For the meaning of "lack any clear intrabaseline alternative", see Criteria for evaluating experimental cmavo. --And Rosta
