In this case you have code names based on two closely related large diurnal birds of prey. So you could choose from {cipnrxakuila vultura cipnrgupa falkone cipnrxalieto cipnrvispreda} to base your form on ({doi .akuiles.} {doi falkon.}) If the characters are named after specific birds, you could use color to distinguish them. But even the ornithologists haven't agreed on how these birds are related, so pe'i Lojban would do well to wait until that controversy settles down before etching words into the lexicon. mu'o mi'e komfo,amonan ------=_Part_34633_17403018.1134591440294 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline On 12/13/05, Yanis Batura <ybatura@mail.ru> wrote:
