I actually said "iure'e le cevni ku kurji ko" when I read it aloud,=20
anticipating the "ku-" of "kurji". The short version is also made entirely =
of=20
amphibrachyes (if "r=E9'e" is so stressed), which is pe'i the most natural =
foot=20
for Lojban. I've come up with some sayings in amphibrachic n-meter, such as=
=20
"lo drata cu muvdu .ijo lo se drata cu klama fu zi'o".

Jews use a lunisolar calendar; Muslims use a solely lunar calendar.
