That would be "mi vreta fi le tr= ixe" or "mi vreta fi le crane", but x3
of "vreta" is not defined (x3 of "sanli" is, but not &q= uot;zutse").

The directions "anterior" and "post= erior" don't match the direction of
locomotion in humans the sa= me way they do in most mammals. How is this
expressed in Lojban?
