Shor par, indeed! The scientific names Bos taurus and Ovis aries are similarly 
redundant, but you can't get "shofar" out of them. iku'i lo danlu goi ko'a cu

Which is right: {la micnax} or {la micnat}?

But you did.

For those who weren't around then, many years ago I arrived at jbonunsla with 
an empty jar of olives and found some Lojbanists around a table with many 
small pyramids on it (this was a Zendo game, but I didn't know about Zendo 
yet). I remarked "mi mo'u citka le .alzaitu".
