Assuming it's just "cradi" with the adjective "Lojbanic", that sentence means "The quantity of first-ness is a radio broadcaster of the quantity of first-ness", which may not be what you want. :-) {.i le pa moi cu jbocradi le pa moi} works, though, as "The first Lojbanic radio broadcaster of the first Lojbanic radio broadcast", but it's a bare statement. I'd move the "fi'i" into that sentence (but make sure to make it "fi'i do" or the fi'i will eat the next sumti). -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
