Sorta Rosetta-Stone-styley. i mu'o mi'e komfo,amonan Wow... my turn to be humble. You give me great responsibility. I didn't want it particularly to be a system of *my* choice, and certainly not immediately. I am still learning new things, and want to see if I can learn more before I make a choice by myself (if it has to be by myself). But more importantly, Lojban is a community effort, and should continue to be so (and indeed, IMHO cannot help but be so), so I was hoping for a system there could be a group consensus on. Discussion has not gotten that far yet, though. There has been excellent positive feedback, and constructive negative feedback, and other noise, but not nearly a consensus on a single symbol set yet. Transcribe? Wow. I wouldn't transcribe at all - why bother? - just design a new computer font! -- Good night, and have a rational tomorrow! mi'e .xius.
