I think I'll stick to memorizing and trying to translate for a bit longer.... >>Incidentally, how ready should one be in making up lujvo? Is it something only gurus should do, or is it something anybody can do if they use the word enough? Does it make sense to make one up for the length of a book? An email? A paragraph? Good question. It does seem reasonable to me that you could make up a new lujvo whenever you need it. If it works well in your communication, perhaps you'll keep it around for later use. If not, discard it and come up with something better next time. If we are too hesitant about creating what we need, doesn't it keep the language from growing and evolving? co'o xeket. _____________________________________________________________ Weight Loss products, Herbal Viagra, and much more!http://www.VitaDepot.com
