Just tell me if I made a mistake about where to place this. I just did something that I find really interesting in one of the documents that I am currently creating to be posted on my web site. I, having had described all of the morphological rules, that cmevla must follow, then mentioned that one could also use a valid selbri as a cmene. I brought up the fact that Native Americans are the most well known example of people doing this in natural languages, using "Walking Bear" as an example (a reference to the episode "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth" of the Star Trek: The Animated Series), and then noticed and pointed out that that could easily be translated in to Lojban "la cadzu cribe". Also, for those who think that I should not be writing about things that are already covered, I'd have to say that I am writing these things primarily to improve my comprehension of things. First, it helps to take the concept explained in one way, and rewrite them in a way that seems more natural *for me*. Secondly; less importantly, I think; that just having to think about them well enough to compose a document about them might, perhaps, help improve the memory of them by what amounts to simple review. I post them on the web because I that that someone else *might* find my writings useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
