Esperanto

Some differences between Esperanto as we know it and Lõisian Esperanto:

• Pronouns are mi, ci, ri, ni, vi, ili, oni

• Transitive verbs in transitive-intransitive pairs are always marked with a causative; the passive for these verbs is used for changes of state.

• -icho is standard for specifically masculine nouns.

• more noun cases (ergative at least)
