My Lojban still being pretty awkward, I'd appreciate others more knowledgable than my poorself to contribute to your interesting remark. What I wanted to express is to be found on my site http://members.tripod.de/Aolungfei/PREFACE.HTML (keyword "Alan Watts" will lead to about this portion of text). roda nirna roda roda se nirna roda roda selnirna roda roda roda selnirna lo roda cu selnirna lo roda (???) ro lo zasti cu selnirna ro lo zasti (!?) ro lo zasti cu selnirna ro lo zasti soi vo'a vo'e ro lo zasti cu selnirna vo'a etc. My idea for choosing /selnirna/ was to express the "network/-ing" (i.e. the x2) of the single (organic) part x1 .aulun. Frostwork aground - big coins of silvery bloom. Sword's blow will never wound the dark sky's misty gloom. Vying, river and sea - ice floes in roaring flight. A silent waterfall so still: rainbow from jasper spume. (Li Ho, tr. A.W. Tueting)
