For example, would you gloss "los caballo-s" as "GAD.NAK.SOR xirma-SOR" or "ART.MASC.PL xirma-PL"? I've tried to find examples of glossing into languages where grammatical terms are quite different from English (such as Lithuanian, where they're also quite different from Russian) and so far haven't. How would you gloss Lojban sentences? For starters, try "mo'ini'a xance ko", since it's short and has a construct I've never seen in a natlang.
