&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;bifce cidja (&amp;quot;bee food&amp;quot;), or bifce cirla (&amp;quot;bee cheese&amp;quot;) is a surreal meme associated with the roljbogu&#039;e community. The image depicts a piece of honeycomb with honey spilling out, overlaid with red text reading &amp;quot;bifce cidja&amp;quot;. It originates from a meme submitted to the Lojban Facebook group by Lojbanist la gleki on November 4, 2012.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Welcome to our server, please enjoy your stay!&#039;&#039;&#039; The aim of this server is to provide a safe and friendly space for Lojban speakers and learners willing to speak and learn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are three tiers: &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;tavla&#039;&#039;&#039; is for casual conversation; no correcting each other (unless asked) or discussions about formalisms allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;pensi&#039;&#039;&#039; is for discussions about the language, its formalisms, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;tavypei&#039;&#039;&#039; is a mix of both: talk there if you want to have your Lojban scrutinized and corrected. However, corrections must not be conversation show-stoppers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In each tier, there are three channel types:&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;naljbo&#039;&#039;&#039; (only for learning or off-topic chatting, no sustained convos in Lojban allowed)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;xrejbo&#039;&#039;&#039; (talk in Lojban or about Lojban; for simple conversations where you expect yourself to fall back to English when things get tough)&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;lojbo&#039;&#039;&#039; (full immersion, no English allowed)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Rule 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; Be nice to each other.&lt;br /&gt;
See you in #rinsa-👋! &#039;&#039;You may also tell us a thing or two about yourself in #coi-mihe-🙂.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Amended rules:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
We wish to foster an accepting and friendly atmosphere on this server. In kind, please refer to each other with due respect, refrain from personal attacks and stay argumentative rather than contentious, and if things get heated, try to dial them back or move to #jbodau. Conversely, give your interlocutors the benefit of the doubt – after all, many of us are neurodivergent, socially awkward, or both.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The &#039;&#039;&#039;Cmevla–Brivla Merger&#039;&#039;&#039; {{editorial|Lojban name?}} (often abbreviated as &#039;&#039;&#039;CBM&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a [[Modern Lojban|common addition to the grammar]] that treats cmevla (name words, words ending in a consonant) as a type of brivla (predicate words).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{editorial}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under CBM, each and every cmevla is treated as a predicate. But what kind of predicate? The most valid (though generic) answer to this question is: &#039;&#039;whatever predicate is named by the cmevla in question.&#039;&#039; For example, names of people, places, countries, etc., may simply be ‘predicatized’ like so:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.alis.}}: {{x|1}} is somebody/something named Alice; {{x|1}} is [an] Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.djonguuen.}}: {{x|1}} is somebody/something named {{j|.djonguuen.}}; {{x|1}} is [a] Chinese language.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.amerikys.}}: {{x|1}} is somebody/something named America; {{x|1}} is [an] America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in cases where it matters – like when we’re naming an action or a more complex relation – we may give the cmevla predicate any structure that we like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.tces.}}: {{x|1}} plays chess with {{x|2}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.tag.}}: {{x|1}} &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;@&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;-s {{x|2}} in message {{x|3}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(These definitions are informal; therefore, one may expect others to be confused with their usage of the oblique places unless it’s rather obvious – e.g., &#039;&#039;I chessed her and she lost&#039;&#039; {{j|mi ko&#039;a .tces .i je ko&#039;a te jinga}}.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, CBM cmevla, alongside the underratedly versatile {{dic|me&#039;oi}}, can find great use when code-switching ({{j|lo nunctu zo&#039;u &#039;&#039;&#039;.borin&#039;&#039;&#039; .oi sai}}) or learning ({{j|mi klama &#039;&#039;&#039;lo .skul.&#039;&#039;&#039;}}).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Hold on now, is it {{j|la .alis.}} or {{j|lo .alis.}}? ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Both forms are correct&#039;&#039;&#039;, mean different things, and belong to different contexts of usage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{j|la .alis.}} means &#039;&#039;one who is called Alice&#039;&#039;, just like {{j|la rokci}} is understood to mean &#039;&#039;one who is called Rock&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{j|lo .alis.}} means &#039;&#039;an Alice&#039;&#039;, as in:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i mi ba&#039;o penmi ci lo .alis.}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;I’ve met three Alices so far.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{editorial|TODO – expand?}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tanru with CBM ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Observe:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la &#039;&#039;&#039;citno .alis.&#039;&#039;&#039; cu zutse ne&#039;a lo rirxe korbi}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la &#039;&#039;&#039;.alis. co citno&#039;&#039;&#039; cu zutse ne&#039;a lo rirxe korbi}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Young Alice&#039;&#039;&#039; sat beside the river bank.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i .ia nai dai mi na&#039;e ju&#039;o se slabu lo &#039;&#039;&#039;.boloniiéz. te jukpa&#039;&#039;&#039;}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Unbelievable, I know, but I really have no idea &#039;&#039;&#039;how to cook spaghetti bolognese&#039;&#039;&#039;!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Caveat: {{j|la}} syntax ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without CBM, a {{j|LA}} phrase terminated as soon as there were no more cmevla – for example:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039; (CLL Lojban)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With CBM, though, the grammatical reading of the sentence diverges:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice-like Youngster&#039;&#039; (under CBM)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is because {{j|.alis.}} and {{j|citno}} now form an [[accidental tanru]], meaning &#039;&#039;(to be) Alice type-of young&#039;&#039;. Since {{j|la}} behaves exactly the same as {{j|lo}} and {{j|le}} and all the other {{j|LE}} with the introduction of CBM, one must take care to splice in a {{j|ku}} or {{j|cu}} to prevent the tanru from forming:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. &#039;&#039;&#039;cu&#039;&#039;&#039; citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039; (with and without CBM)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
※ CLL {{j|LA}} does not take a {{j|ku}} when followed by a cmevla (why would it need to if it knows when to terminate?), so this sentence&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. &#039;&#039;&#039;ku&#039;&#039;&#039; citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
will not parse without CBM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Formal description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compare the following snippets from [https://lojban.github.io/ilmentufa/camxes.peg camxes]’ and [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/guskant/gerna_cipra/master/zantufa-1.3.peg zantufa]’s grammar files:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;camxes&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
 tanru_unit_2 &amp;lt;- BRIVLA_clause free* / [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;zantufa&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
 tanru_unit_1 &amp;lt;- (CMEVLA_clause / BRIVLA_clause / [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Notice how in zantufa (which admits CBM), cmevla (represented by the production rule &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;CMEVLA_clause&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;) are capable of serving as &amp;lt;abbr title=&amp;quot;Units in a tanru. «condi» and «me lo bloti» are one tanru unit each; «condi me lo bloti» is two.&amp;quot;&amp;gt;tanru units&amp;lt;/abbr&amp;gt; to the same extent that brivla (&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;BRIVLA_clause&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;) are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now let’s examine selma’o {{j|LE}} and {{j|LA}}. (In both cases, &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;sumti_tail&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; depends on &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;selbri&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, which itself is one or more &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;tanru_unit&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;s, defined above.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;camxes&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
 sumti_6 &amp;lt;- [...] / LA_clause free* relative_clauses? CMEVLA_clause+ free* / (LA_clause / LE_clause) free* sumti_tail KU_elidible free* / [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;zantufa&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
 sumti_5 &amp;lt;- [...] / LE_clause sumti_tail KU_elidible / [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
camxes defines cmavo of {{j|LA}} as cmavo that can be followed both by a cmevla and a brivla, and {{j|LE}} as those that can only be followed by the latter. Since zantufa is a CBM grammar, it doesn’t make the distinction; thus, it doesn’t need to define the selma’o {{j|LA}} (as well as the rule &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;LA_clause&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;) at all.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;{{j|jboponei}}&#039;&#039;&#039; is the practice of replacing all abstraction cmavo (of class {{j|NU}}) with the word {{j|po}}, terminated by {{j|nei}}. (Note that these replace existing cmavo, meaning ‘exclusive possession’ and ‘this bridi relation’.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At first, Lojban was replete with abstractor usage – jbopre were eager to {{j|nu}} and {{j|ka}} and {{j|du&#039;u}} and {{j|za&#039;i}} and {{j|ni}} and {{j|zu&#039;o}}… However, a subset of them [TODO: who, when?] settled on a peculiar habit: in place of all of them, using the {{j|su&#039;u}} abstractor (the most general and inspecific of them all). Then {{j|lo su&#039;u}} got shortened to {{j|po}}. This modification caught on, almost virally (ironically since it’s 2020), and as such has ended up as part of most active Lojbanists’ dialects.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The &#039;&#039;&#039;Cmevla–Brivla Merger&#039;&#039;&#039; {{editorial|Lojban name?}} (often abbreviated as &#039;&#039;&#039;CBM&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a [[Modern Lojban|common addition to the grammar]] that treats cmevla (name words, words ending in a consonant) as a type of brivla (predicate words).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{editorial}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under CBM, each and every cmevla is treated as a predicate. But what kind of predicate? The most valid (though generic) answer to this question is: &#039;&#039;whatever predicate is named by the cmevla in question.&#039;&#039; For example, names of people, places, countries, etc., may simply be ‘predicatized’ like so:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.alis.}}: {{x|1}} is somebody/something named Alice; {{x|1}} is [an] Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.djonguuen.}}: {{x|1}} is somebody/something named {{j|.djonguuen.}}; {{x|1}} is [a] Chinese language.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.amerikys.}}: {{x|1}} is somebody/something named America; {{x|1}} is [an] America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in cases where it matters – like when we’re naming an action or a more complex relation – we may give the cmevla predicate any structure that we like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.tces.}}: {{x|1}} plays chess with {{x|2}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.tag.}}: {{x|1}} &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;@&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;-s {{x|2}} in message {{x|3}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(These definitions are informal; therefore, one may expect others to be confused with their usage of the oblique places unless it’s rather obvious – e.g., &#039;&#039;I chessed her and she lost&#039;&#039; {{j|mi ko&#039;a .tces .i je ko&#039;a te jinga}}.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, CBM cmevla, alongside the underratedly versatile {{dic|me&#039;oi}}, can find great use when code-switching ({{j|lo nunctu zo&#039;u &#039;&#039;&#039;.borin&#039;&#039;&#039; .oi sai}}) or learning ({{j|mi klama &#039;&#039;&#039;lo .skul.&#039;&#039;&#039;}}).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Hold on now, is it {{j|la .alis.}} or {{j|lo .alis.}}? ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Both forms are correct&#039;&#039;&#039;, mean different things, and belong to different contexts of usage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{j|la .alis.}} means &#039;&#039;one who is called Alice&#039;&#039;, just like {{j|la rokci}} is understood to mean &#039;&#039;one who is called Rock&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{j|lo .alis.}} means &#039;&#039;an Alice&#039;&#039;, as in:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i mi ba&#039;o penmi ci lo .alis.}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;I’ve met three Alices so far.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{editorial|TODO – expand?}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Tanru with CBM ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Observe:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la &#039;&#039;&#039;citno .alis.&#039;&#039;&#039; cu zutse ne&#039;a lo rirxe korbi}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la &#039;&#039;&#039;.alis. co citno&#039;&#039;&#039; cu zutse ne&#039;a lo rirxe korbi}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Young Alice&#039;&#039;&#039; sat beside the river bank.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i .ia nai dai mi na&#039;e ju&#039;o se slabu lo &#039;&#039;&#039;.boloniiéz. te jukpa&#039;&#039;&#039;}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Unbelievable, I know, but I really have no idea &#039;&#039;&#039;how to cook spaghetti bolognese&#039;&#039;&#039;!&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Caveat: {{j|la}} syntax ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without CBM, a {{j|LA}} phrase terminated as soon as there were no more cmevla – for example:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039; (CLL Lojban)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With CBM, though, the grammatical reading of the sentence diverges:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice-like Youngster&#039;&#039; (under CBM)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is because {{j|.alis.}} and {{j|citno}} now form an [[accidental tanru]], meaning &#039;&#039;(to be) Alice type-of young&#039;&#039;. Since {{j|la}} behaves exactly the same as {{j|lo}} and {{j|le}} and all the other {{j|LE}} with the introduction of CBM, one must take care to splice in a {{j|ku}} or {{j|cu}} to prevent the tanru from forming:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. &#039;&#039;&#039;cu&#039;&#039;&#039; citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039; (with and without CBM)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
※ CLL {{j|LA}} does not take a {{j|ku}} when followed by a cmevla (why would it need to if it knows when to terminate?), so this sentence&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. &#039;&#039;&#039;ku&#039;&#039;&#039; citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
will not parse without CBM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Formal description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compare the following snippets from [https://lojban.github.io/ilmentufa/camxes.peg camxes]’ and [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/guskant/gerna_cipra/master/zantufa-1.3.peg zantufa]’s grammar files:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;camxes&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
 tanru_unit_2 &amp;lt;- BRIVLA_clause free* / [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;zantufa&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
 tanru_unit_1 &amp;lt;- (CMEVLA_clause / BRIVLA_clause / [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Notice how in zantufa (which admits CBM), cmevla (represented by the production rule &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;CMEVLA_clause&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;) are capable of serving as &amp;lt;abbr title=&amp;quot;Units in a tanru. «condi» and «me lo bloti» are one tanru unit each; «condi me lo bloti» is two.&amp;quot;&amp;gt;tanru units&amp;lt;/abbr&amp;gt; to the same extent that brivla (&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;BRIVLA_clause&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;) are.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Caveat: {{j|la}} syntax ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without CBM, a {{j|LA}} phrase terminated as soon as there were no more cmevla – for example:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039; (CLL Lojban)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With CBM, though, the grammatical reading of the sentence diverges:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice-like Youngster&#039;&#039; (under CBM)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is because {{j|.alis.}} and {{j|citno}} now form an [[accidental tanru]], meaning &#039;&#039;(to be) Alice type-of young&#039;&#039;. Since {{j|la}} behaves exactly the same as {{j|lo}} and {{j|le}} and all the other {{j|LE}} with the introduction of CBM, one must take care to splice in a {{j|ku}} or {{j|cu}} to prevent the tanru from forming:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. &#039;&#039;&#039;cu&#039;&#039;&#039; citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039; (with and without CBM)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
※ CLL {{j|LA}} does not take a {{j|ku}} when followed by a cmevla (why would it need to if it knows when to terminate?), so this sentence&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. &#039;&#039;&#039;ku&#039;&#039;&#039; citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
will not parse without CBM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;The &#039;&#039;&#039;Cmevla–Brivla Merger&#039;&#039;&#039; {{editorial|Lojban name?}} (often abbreviated as &#039;&#039;&#039;CBM&#039;&#039;&#039;) is a [[Modern Lojban|common addition to the grammar]] that treats cmevla (name words, words ending in a consonant) as a type of brivla (predicate words).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{editorial}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under CBM, each and every cmevla is treated as a predicate. But what kind of predicate? The most valid (though generic) answer to this question is: &#039;&#039;whatever predicate is named by the cmevla in question.&#039;&#039; For example, names of people, places, countries, etc., may simply be ‘predicatized’ like so:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.alis.}}: {{x|1}} is somebody/something named Alice; {{x|1}} is [an] Alice.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.djonguuen.}}: {{x|1}} is somebody/something named {{j|.djonguuen.}}; {{x|1}} is [a] Chinese language.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.amerikys.}}: {{x|1}} is somebody/something named America; {{x|1}} is [an] America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in cases where it matters – like when we’re naming an action or a more complex relation – we may give the cmevla predicate any structure that we like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.tces.}}: {{x|1}} plays chess with {{x|2}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{j|.tag.}}: {{x|1}} &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;@&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;-s {{x|2}} in message {{x|3}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(These definitions are informal; therefore, one may expect others to be confused with their usage of the oblique places unless it’s rather obvious – e.g., &#039;&#039;I chessed her and she lost&#039;&#039; {{j|mi ko’a .tces .i je ko’a te jinga}}.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, CBM cmevla, alongside the underratedly versatile {{dic|me&#039;oi}}, can find great use when code-switching ({{j|lo nunctu zo&#039;u &#039;&#039;&#039;.borin&#039;&#039;&#039; .oi sai}}) or learning ({{j|mi klama &#039;&#039;&#039;lo .skul.&#039;&#039;&#039;}}).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Hold on now, is it {{j|la .alis.}} or {{j|lo .alis.}}? ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Both forms are correct&#039;&#039;&#039;, mean different things, and belong to different contexts of usage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{j|la .alis.}} means &#039;&#039;one who is called Alice&#039;&#039;, just like {{j|la rokci}} is understood to mean &#039;&#039;one who is called Rock&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{j|lo .alis.}} means &#039;&#039;an Alice&#039;&#039;, as in:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i mi ba’o penmi ci lo .alis.}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice-like Youngster&#039;&#039; (under CBM)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is because {{j|.alis.}} and {{j|citno}} now form an [[accidental tanru]], meaning &#039;&#039;(to be) Alice type-of young&#039;&#039;. Since {{j|la}} behaves exactly the same as {{j|lo}} and {{j|le}} and all the other {{j|LE}} with the introduction of CBM, one must take care to splice in a {{j|ku}} or {{j|cu}} to prevent the tanru from forming:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. &#039;&#039;&#039;cu&#039;&#039;&#039; citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039; (with and without CBM)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
※ CLL {{j|LA}} does not take a {{j|ku}} when followed by a cmevla (why would it need to if it knows when to terminate?), so this sentence&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  {{j|.i la .alis. &#039;&#039;&#039;ku&#039;&#039;&#039; citno}} &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &#039;&#039;Alice is young.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
will not parse without CBM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Formal description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compare the following snippets from [https://lojban.github.io/ilmentufa/camxes.peg camxes]’ and [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/guskant/gerna_cipra/master/zantufa-1.3.peg zantufa]’s grammar files:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;camxes&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
 tanru_unit_2 &amp;lt;- BRIVLA_clause free* / [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;zantufa&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
 tanru_unit_1 &amp;lt;- (CMEVLA_clause / BRIVLA_clause / [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Notice how in zantufa (which admits CBM), cmevla (represented by the production rule &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;CMEVLA_clause&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;) are capable of serving as &amp;lt;abbr title=&amp;quot;Units in a tanru. «condi» and «me lo bloti» are one tanru unit each; «condi me lo bloti» is two.&amp;quot;&amp;gt;tanru units&amp;lt;/abbr&amp;gt; to the same extent that brivla (&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;BRIVLA_clause&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;) are.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;{{j|jboponei}}&#039;&#039;&#039; is the practice of replacing all abstraction cmavo (of class {{j|NU}}) with the word {{j|po}}, terminated by {{j|nei}}. (Note that these replace existing cmavo, meaning ‘exclusive possession’ and ‘this bridi relation’.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At first, Lojban was replete with abstractor usage – jbopre were eager to {{j|nu}} and {{j|ka}} and {{j|du&#039;u}} and {{j|za&#039;i}} and {{j|ni}} and {{j|zu&#039;o}}… However, a subset of them [TODO: who, when?] settled on a peculiar habit: in place of all of them, using the {{j|su&#039;u}} abstractor (the most general and inspecific of them all). Then {{j|lo su&#039;u}} got shortened to {{j|po}}. This modification caught on, almost virally (ironically since it’s 2020), and as such has ended up as part of most active Lojbanists’ dialects.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
