But this capitalization is not a part of the language itself. Suppose we have a cmevla {balu'ar} for which we want to indicate stress on the last syllable {'ar}. How "'" could be capitalized in this case? 2) What to do if the assignable {ko'a} ... {ko'u}, {fo'a} ... {fo'u} and logical {da}, {de}, {di} are not enough? 3) What is the exact meaning of the bridi {ko prami ma}? 4) How to translate the following: 1. "First among equals" 2. "It's better to die standing than to live on your knees" 3. "The meaning of "mrogau" is exactly the same as the meaning of "catra", but their place structure isn't" 5) Woman's reason (Russian: "Female logics") "I love you, because the Moon is made of cheese". Lojban has 4 types of causation, but "female because" doesn't seem either of them. What can be done here (zo'o)? 6) {ko} is the analogue of {do} meaning "make this bridi true". Are there ways to create such analogues for other personal pro-sumti? 7) {ko} means "you make this bridi true". What to do if the bridi shouldn't involve {do} as any sumti, for example "Make the bridi "this picture hangs on the wall" true"? mi'e .ianis.
