It's not needed after "mi" or other pro-sumti. The only reason that it is there is to mark where the selbri begins. Therefore, it's important in cases like your sixth sentence, where without it, it would only be the phrase "marketish big thing." --gejyspa -----Original Message----- I was touching my web site the other day and remembered the page on the lojban language. It's minimal, and perhaps needs expanding, but I was wondering if anyone here would care to comment on it. http://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/LojbanLanguage.html?LJ_BL I'd particularly appreciate comments from beginners as to what might be added to allow for different interests and reasons for starting lojban.
