Probably because our word formation rules put a heavy weight on the
Chinese cognates. This led to a lot of sibilants in syllable onset,
and the letter "n" in non-final syllable ending. The final syllable
of a word ends in a vowel except in names.

I'm not sure that I've ever heard of any feature of Ido that would be
appropriate for Lojban. In any event, language inventor JCB was quite
aware of the international language community when he started the
language, and apparently chose explicitly to go a different direction.
