(I do say "technically" because we do it > all the time anyway.) Yes, I suggested that -pok- be the rafsi of pokmone. This is perfectly fine, because, in the world of Pokemon, a Pokemon is a completely normal thing, making it natural for it to have a rafsi. In fact, it should even have a gismu, but I like pokmone more than something like pokme, because it more closely resembles the original name. Anyway, within the Pokemon world, -pok- should definitely be considered a normal rafsi. > > >> pokjutsi: x1 is a pokemon species of type(s) x2 with evolutions/family x3 > > The pair [kj] isn't legal, not to mention that if it were legal, this > would be a lujvo with an unpredictable place structure, which isn't > good. We can insert arbitrary -r- hyphens though (because zi'evla > cannot contain -y-.) Except it is isn't a zi'evla (for the reasons mentioned above). It's a lujvo. {pokyjutsi}.

Maaaaybe one could include the trainer type (there are 33 trainer types in Gen I: e.g. Biker, Swimmer, Beauty), but they are probably not important enough to get a place. Instead, when a "Swimmer wants to fight!", you'd just say {lo limna cu damba djica} anyway.

(giving a specific item, or reaching a certain level.) I like pure binxo. Evolving is so normal that nobody would call it Pokemon evolution. However, there is also farvi, which seems more precise. It also let's you talk about about "families": lo ve farvi are all the stages of a Pokemon. mu'o mi'e la selpa'i -- .i pau mi me ma .i pa mai ko mi jungau la'e di'u .i ba bo mi va'o lo nu nelci lo nu me ma kau cu barkla .i va'o lo nu na nelci cu denpa ti lo nu mi drata -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
