-In Lojban, underfilling is extremely common and undisputably part of the language. A big number of root words ("'''''gismu'''''") contain 4-5 object places, so you almost ''have'' to underfill in most cases, unless you don't want your sentences full of ''zo'e'' (explicit object place skipper). There are particles ''(fa fe fi fo fu'', all in word class '''FA''') that skip to a specific slot.
