English
(Lojban grammar)Noun
(cmene)- Cmene are always written with a period at the end, and if they start with a vowel then also with a period at the beginning.
- These minor restrictions are due to the fact that all Lojban cmene' embedded in a speech stream will be preceded by one of these words or by a pause. With one of these words embedded, the '''cmene''' might break up into valid Lojban words followed by a shorter ' cmene .

- I removed from the frequency list all cmene and unknown lujvo and cmavo.

English
(Lojban grammar)Noun
(brivla)- Brivla' are "content words", i.e., categorematic. When acting as selbri they are roughly comparable to verbs (or adjectives (or even nouns), if the selbri's arity is one), and when acting as sumti (e.g., due to being prefixed with "le") they are comparable to nouns. If a '''brivla''' modifies another one (thereby forming a "tanru"), the modifying '''brivla''' would be comparable to an adverb or adjective (*), depending on whether the modified ' brivla is acting as selbri or sumti, respectively. // Footnote: (*) - the modifying brivla could instead be comparable, in some cases, to the modified brivla's predicate.
- They often have no semantic meaning in themselves, though they may affect the semantics of brivla to which they are attached.
- Fix major bugs in the lexical analysis for cmafi'e (brivla mis-scanned as sequences of cmavo joined together.)
