(conscious-evolving-organism) These are in the form of the so-called 'content word', which can serve as a predicate (verb/adjective) on its own. Another major form is the 'name word'. The above content words may be name-word-ized as follows: zi'eful, zi'efl, etc. sajyfavji'es, sajyfavji'ej, sajyfavmiv, sajyfavjix, etc. The apostrophe is the "h" sound; in contexts of natural languages with the Latin alphabet, you may have "ziheful" instead of "zi'eful", for instance, although that string of letters wouldn't be recognized by conventional Lojban parsers. If "y" looks cumbersome, you can have, by sacrificing morphological unity to some extent, something like "saj.fav.miv" with dots between each component (and this should work also as the local part of an email address, so long as no dot appear at the beginning/end, just like your current one). mu'o (over, response ok,) mi'e (I'm) tijlan
