I wrote a short text to check it out, but currently my scanner is broken ("Document feeder jammed"!?), so I can't upload it. I have discovered one problem with your orthography: Without a mechanism to identify stress, it's impossible to write spaceless style with it :( Also there is no dot style for "in between", as it would happen in dotside-like names {la.timos. for example}. Another thing is that I'm not really sure, if it's really a good idea to have "s" be just a dash, even though it really does make sense in that quadrangle concept thingie. It might be possible to use a small (or big) flick below the letters to mark stressed syllables, but i'm not sure how to remedy the S thing. Looking forward to an even better version :) - Timo PS: It really was jammed... By the switch with the "lock" icon on the bottom side of the scanner. What a bebna I am! Here's the scan :) http://perpetuum-immobile.de/lojban/lakmir.png 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.
