Since you decided that my other response was too flamy, here's the part I actually wanted a response to: The whole *point* of lujvo, unless I'm missing something, is that someone should be able to dissect them and figure out what you mean. I will bet you *any* *amount* *of* *money* (and I mean that) that if you ask 20 random non-lojbanists that you haven't discussed any of this stuff with what 'principal (as in most important) book' means, with no other information, that no more than 1 or 2 will guess the web. Seriously. Any amount of money you like. I just got a check for a stock disbursment. I'll give you 10 to 1 odds. You can even show them the full definition of ralju and cukta, but you can't give them any other information. This seems like a reasonable sanity test for a lujvo, don't you think? -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ BTW, I'm male, honest. le datni cu djica le nu zifre .iku'i .oi le so'e datni cu to'e te pilno je xlali -- RLP http://www.lojban.org/
