Lojban can mark the topic (when it is a sumti) by placing it in the prenex: lo xanto zo'u lo pilka cu mutce rotsu "As for elephants, the skin is very thick." but there is no convention for explicit marking of focus yet. Possible candidate markers are {ba'e} (emphasis) and {bi'u} (new-information). mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.
