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).

cmavo	selma'o	meaning	proposed by
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).	And Rosta
bei'e	MAI	Placed as an evidential. The number added to the front is the decibels of logarithmic Bayesian probability the speaker assigns to the word or phrase that the bei'e refers to.
bi'ai	CAhA	must be: modal aspect: necesary attribute
boi'a...boi'u	KEI	interpreted as if cei brodV were assigned to terminated bridi
bua'a'a	UI	Before I kill you I will explain my master plan
bu'ai	NU	Abstractor to create logically quantified selbri variable to be used in predicate logic of third or higher order. Used with xe'u. (proposed by guskant).
ca'ai	CAhA	in This World is: (equivalent to but preferable to nau'a). This may be the same as a simple ca'a.	And Rosta
ci'oi	COI	Psychomimes. Narrower term than tai'i. (cp ci'o, cinmo).	tijlan
da'ai	LA	yields sumti functioning as da-series KOhA.	And Rosta

du'au	NU	x1 is a (true?) completion to incomplete proposition expressed by bridi within the abstraction
fai'a...fai'u	FA	tags sumti that is ur-xN (before SE conversion).	And Rosta
fau'a...fau'u	ZOhU	interpreted as if ce'u goi fo'V zo'u if following ka or du'au and as if ke'a goi fo'V zo'u if following poi, noi, voi or poi'i.
fau'u	COI	Forgive me! as vocative. I did not know fau'u was listed in experimental anaphorics above when I added fau'u as COI to jbovlaste. However, I did not find the actual anaphoric use of fau'u, so keep it suggested as COI. fau'u ro do. Proposed by guskant.
fei'a...fei'u	KU	interpreted as if ku goi fo'V
foi'a...foi'u	KOhA	adnex-bound pro-sumti
goi'a	GOI	disambiguates goi's meaning.
ja'ai	NAI	affirm last word: attached to cmavo to affirm them; denies negation by nai whenever it is applicable.	Mark Shoulson
jai'a	NA	unequivocally true

ki'ai	COI	ejaculative (damn! shit! bah! yowie!): (cp krixa, ki'a-).	And Rosta.
ko'ai	LA	yields sumti functioning as ko'a-series KOhA.	And Rosta.
koi'a...koi'u	KOhA	adnex-bound pro-sumti
ko'oi	UI	Discursive: imperative. Broader term than au, a'o, e'o, e'u, e'a, ei. ko is a short form of do ko'oi. Proposed by guskant.
la'ei	LA	lo : loi: lo'e le : lei : le'e la : lai : la'ei
lau'a	LE	(ro) lau'a broda = ro lu'a lo klesi be lo'i broda
lau'e	LE	lau'e broda = lo'e ro lu'a lo klesi be lo'i broda
lau'i	LE	lau'i broda = lo klesi be lo'i broda

nai'a	NA	unequivocally false
nau'a	CAhA	in This World is: (but ca'ai is equivalent and better).	And Rosta
nei'i	GOhA	current phrase: - like nei, but not restricted to bridi.	And Rosta
no'au	GOhA	next outer phrase: — like no'a, but not restricted to bridi.	And Rosta
noi'a	NOI	interpreted as if noi ke'a
nu'oi	CAhA	in some world but not This World is: (equivalent to but preferable to na'e nau'a or nau'a nai).	And Rosta
oi'a	I	interpreted as if i la'e di'u
pa'ei	LE	= da poi ke'a du le(i)'e broda a lo(i)'e broda a le du ku voi ke'a du lo(i)'e broda
poi'a	NOI	interpreted as if poi ke'a
poi'ai	NU	interpreted as if poi'i ke'a
poi'i	NU	x1 is such that poi'i abstraction is true; x1 binds ke'a within the abstraction. Arguably can be abandoned in favour of se ka. See poi'i discussion.	And Rosta

vau'a...vau'u	VAU	interpreted as if cei brodV were assigned to terminated bridi
voi'a	NOI	interpreted as if voi ke'a
xa'o	ZAhO	opposite of za'o: event contour: refers to the portion of the event which occurs before the natural beginning; starting too early before ...; <----
xai	KOhA	they. Repeats two or more preceding sumti, as ra repeats one.	Pierre Abbat
xei	PA	hex digit E: (because rei is too close to re, while all other numbers are very audibly distinct)
xe'e	GOI	modal phrase: modal relative phrase marker; attaches sumti modally
xe'i	?	ago: tense; tags the time interval from or to the reference point
xe'u]]	GOhA	Abstraction variable indicator brivla. Used with bu'ai. Proposed by guskant.
xi'e	?	non-veridical tense/modal connective:
xi'i	XIhI	elidable terminator for xi: removes the ambiguity in multiple subscripts.
xi'i2	?	narrative connective
xi'i3	XI	extent of truth
xo'a	XOhA	Loglan toggle: Toggles text to TLI Loglan; marks following text as TLI Loglan; Lojban equivalent of experimental Loglan hoa (which toggles text to Lojban)
xoi'a	PU	monotonic increase tense; "increasing linearly over time"
xoi'e	PU	exponential increase tense
zei'a	PA	(< zenba) following string of digits counts upwards from the units. E.g. zei'a pa re ci vo = 4,321.	And Rosta
zo'au	KOhA	begin postnex

Other proposals and questions about cmavo.

• A Cmavo for Unspecific Previously-Uttered Bridi

• 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.
• rab.spir:
  • 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.
• And Rosta:
  • 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.
