      Hello,

      I just started to use lojban-beginers mailing list, so pleas forgive 
me my clumsiness.
      I do not understand why "la meris. melbi se tavla la tam." should be 
translated as "Meris is beautiful listener of Tom."
      Realy "sumti_1 selbri sumti_2" shold to have the the same meaning as 
"sumti_2 se selbri sumti_1", isn't?
      It means "la tam. tavla la meris." is equal to "la meris. se tavla la 
tam.", i.e. second sentence cannot be translated "Meris listen Tom", because 
if Tom speaks to Meris it does not necessarely means that Meris listen to 
Tom.
