At first I liked the idea of relationships being explictely called out like mamymam etc... But now I'm wondering if it would be nice to have a really generic title for family members. I mean, how many people had an "uncle jim" who was technically a close friend of the family but has an honorary family title. So I was thinking maybe something like {la lanzu.djim} as being a fully generic family title for when you don't want to spell out that this is "la mamymesyspeni djim" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
