Since the beginning of the language, even though the Latin alphabet was the official standard, it was permissable to transcribe into Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Greek character sets. They even created words for it. The words {ru'o} {ge'o} {je'o} and {lo'a} are a set of verbal "shift keys". They mean to dictate to a computer or amanuensis that they should shift letterals to Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, and Lojban (Latin) character sets respectively. -epkat To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
