It would run a checksum against the digitally transmitted orders, notice any interference, and request to have the orders resent. ;) As for ke'u I think it can be used that way, but I don't think the ke'unai is elidable because there would be no other way to know how much was meant to be the repetition (if the repetition was meant to help against potentially spotty transmitions). "NOT REPEAT NOT" is reasonable (I really don't know if its in real-world use), but it seems to me that a cleaner solution would be to just use different words. If you wanted someone to not repeat not bomb the pretty little girls school you could instead say, ignore the pretty little girls school. Can anyone think of a situation where 'not' is actually required? --M@ 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.
