Bad xorxes, you're going to confuse him. Machael: The Lojban language committee has recently approved some changes to how lo (and the other gadri) are handled. These aren't absolutely final, but are expected to become so. xorxes (having written the proposal) is talking about the new lo, not the CLL lo. See http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=How+to+use+xorlo for more information. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
