You weren't really a "founder" but rather first-among-equals in the second "wave" - second foundationer: maybe Preem Palver is the proper title. > Back in 1789, the first U.S. Congress was debating what title should > be given to the President.

If we want to give you a Lojban title, it should reflect your primary role in the language, maybe la gerna jdice? It would be your official title, making you in English, the "Official Lojban Parser". (Robin and Nick deserve perpetual Lojban titles "doi jatna ne lemi jatna") -------------------- But choosing to be serious, the "title" that I occasionally referred to you by during your period of activity was in fact our "chief Grammarian", so perhaps you would accept "Grammarian" as a title both meaningful and well-earned. lojbab _______________________________________________ Llg-members mailing list Llg-members@lojban.org http://mail.lojban.org/mailman/listinfo/llg-members
