Sincerely hope posting in English is okay) Hi, My name is Michael Turniansky (although I also go by the nickname turnip). I studied Loglan on my own in the late '70s, and am currently working my way through the Lojban Reference Grammar (slow going. currently on chapter 7). My favorite part so far is the standardized lujvo formation rules. My last name is almost turni'aski which means something akin to "substructure description" (or, as my son points out, a Dungeons & Dragons dungeon map almost fits that category). I am in Baltimore, Maryland (and it's no coincidence that "baltim-" means "grandiose weather" in Lojban. You should see the electrical storms!) I'm sure I will have many quesions as time goes on. And here is my first one: is there any gismu or lujvo corresponding to "score" or "points" in either a test or game (this might be two different words)? It seems like kelsnada or klani might be close to what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure. --turnip (la gejyspa)
