Something to consider: brivla can be used as names too, so if you are making the name meaningful, why not {la pacruxydinju}? > * vidni selkmi zilcmi for videogame series Maybe {porsi} for "series"? > * fydysyskam and mysyxyskam for the FDS and the MSX (and how do I specify > MSX 2?) I'd prefer {fydysy}, {mysyxy} also written as {FDS} and {MSX}. {MSX 2} can be {mysyxyre} although I'd rather make it {mysyxyrebu} because I think digits shouldn't be mixed with letterals (mixing them causes more problems than it solves). > * the year; I tried to find information about lojban's date format but all > I found was flamewars on whether it should be big- or little endian.

I'm especially concerned > since years and dates are something I'd like computers to easily parse. I prefer big-endian too. The grammar allows both (and many other) conventions. It is always possible to be unambiguous with either convention, so everyone can (will) use whatever they like most. mu'o mi'e xorxes
