=A0 Okay, that's what I thought you were going for. = =A0So my second translation of "lo nu mi gansu kei na selki'u no d= a" is what your intended meaning. =A0"My action is not justified = by nothing" (i.e. -> "lo nu mi =A0gansu kei selki'u su'= ;o da" (my action is justified by=A0something)) =A0The discomfort that= I have with the negativity being =A0part of the brivla instead of within t= he arguments is thinking "okay, what would 'lo broda cu tolselki&#= 39;u lo brode' mean?" lo broda is justified by something, but not = by brode? =A0If so, why not simply write "lo broda cu selki'u na&#= 39;e bo lo brode" or even simpler, "lo broda na selki'u lo br= oda"? =A0 It just doesn't feel to me (pe'i) that "krinu&q= uot; has a polar opposite in the same way that say "canci" or &qu= ot;banli" does. =A0It's not on any kind of scale -- A is either a = reason for B, or it's not.

My intention= :

{lo nu mi gasnu} -> my doing
{na tolselki'u}= -> is not unjustified (without reason)

I hoped the lujuvo would have been clear enough being based on {t= o'e se krinu}

=A0 I'm not sure what you mean by "lo nu mi gasnu kei=A0na tolselki'u" Are you trying to say something along = the lines of "lo nu mi gasnu kei na selki'u la'edi'u"= ? =A0Or perhaps "lo nu mi gasnu kei na selki'u noda"? =A0(I g= uess it's mostly the meaning of the lujvo that's confusing me)

I've translated one of the Ae= sop fable ("The Crab and hist Mother") and posted it here:

Aesop seems a good choice for translating into Lojban as the text= is rather short, there's no copyright and it is available in many lang= uages.

I intended to start from project Gutenberg text (http://www.gu= tenberg.org/ebooks/19994) but I noticed the English version is rather d= ifferent from the original!
So, for this translation I relied more on the Italian translation (http://www.lafeltrinel= li.it/products/9788854138476/Favole_Testo_greco_a_fronte_Ediz_Integrale/Eso= po.html) that matches the Greek text (http://mythfolklore.net/aesop= ica/chambry/151.htm) much better.

If anyone has made other Aesop translations and wants me to publi= sh it, let me know, I'll be happy to add them.

As usual, p= lease let me know of any mistake I might have made.
