6 months ago In this 2022 review of Lojban's morphology, la selgu'a points out:
The prohibition of /mz/ is an anomaly.
[Of the five specifically-forbidden pairs,] /mz/ is especially puzzling, given that it occurs across several of the source languages, from English whimsy to Arabic hamza.
Remove the -mz- rule, which ka'u was meant to insult the late James Cooke Brown. Additionally, change the infamous "manwoman" paragraph. The rest of Chapter 14 is largely unchanged; whether to change "James is a woman" can be independent of this change.
