My preference is to only use x_1, x_2, etc. The other info is useful to understand how the lujvo was constructed, but it doesn't really add anything to the understanding of the lujvo itself. For the final presentation, I think only x's is best. Now, jbovlaste is being used not just for presentation, but also for judging and voting on definitions, and for that purpose seeing how the lujvo was constructed might be helpful. BTW, would it be possible to have some statistics on jbovlaste definitions, such as how many words of each type have already been defined in each language? It's hard to tell how much info is already there, and seeing some numbers would give us some idea of what progress there is. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
