Yes, I believe this is them here:

There's an online HTML version of this (_The Complete Lojban
Language_) here:
http://www.lojban.org/publications/reference_grammar.html
Supposedly it contains errors fixed in the print version.

The site seems to be dead; it's supposed to be archived at
http://web.archive.org/web/20010814222138/world.std.com/~tob/allnoun.htm
but I can't connect to their servers. There's certainly some
description of it in early CONLANG posts archived on John Cowan's site
here: http://mercury.ccil.org/~cowan/conlang/
but I don't know where exactly.

Doesn't it also have four "operators"? (Not that this makes it any
easier to find a natural analogue.)
