     Loglan is an isolating language, much like English. That means that once you’ve learned a word, you don’t have to worry about changing its form. Even in English, you have to remember to add ‘-ed’ to a verb to make it refer to the past, and ‘-s’ to nouns to make them plural. In Loglan, you won’t have to do that. Also, some English verbs and nouns have irregular forms. There are no irregular Loglan forms.

     Typically, the people who develop Romanization systems (or constructed languages like Loglan or Iqglic they'll want their alphabet to minimize surprises so that it's easy to learn. So they'll typically choose letter-sound correspondences from existing languages. Though, they don't necessarily take all of their letters from the same language (which may be your source of confusion).
