I'm not even sure if I've got the above {bridi} right. .a'o I'm having real trouble working out how to say, "I live in Cambridge". I imagine it would be one of: .(home) pe mi nenri la .keimbridj. .mi (inhabits) .keimbridj. But every query ("house", "home", "resident", "inhabit") to the dictionary brings up... Lojban must have a word for "the empty set", I probably just haven't got that far yet. .u'i pitr. -- E-mail: peter@peter-b.co.uk Website: http://www.peter-b.co.uk Latest QuArK: http://tinyurl.com/6fjay
