Most of the russians doesn't recognise this rules of reading. If you ask average russian, wich sound is after "m" in "moskva", he replies "o". Of cousre it is lie, but sincere lie. Average russian is not trained in making transcriptions and sincerely belives that it all sounds as it is written. Most communication in lojban today is written, not spoken, and "maskva" or something alike is just unrecognizable by native speakers. -- Cyril Slobin ------------------------ Yahoo!
