Also, this file lists source language words in a Lojbanised form, in ASCII, without inflectional endings and with affricates reduced to simple spirants. There is mention somewhere (but I can't remember where) of a hardcopy with the source words in their original form. Would it possible to scan this hardcopy and upload it to Lojban.org? It would be great to make the natural language origins of Lojban vocabulary more visible. For example, having access to the original words would open the way for an etymological section in a gismu dictionary, with source words in Unicode and with IPA transcription (and possibly Lojban/TLI Loglan correspondence as well, as this is already documented in [2]).
