Because Lojban is so rich in sibilants (SILYLE'U) it's actually a bit of a chore trying NOT to make them. E.g. a word for "the holidays" ('holy season'): CESYCITSI. Someone who likes the holidays celebrated, but only moderately: CNICI CESYCITSI DJICA... Once i invented the word REMTEMZAMTUGJOLJMI in an attempt to render "lifelong acknowledgement"... I think i'm proudest of a word that is as revolting to say as to think: KALCYJOLZGU... We might have, instead of the next Poll, a tonguetwister (BACRYNANDU) contest? ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
