It seems that "carvi" has what seem to be negative arguments/places that are always assumed and must never be spoken. Thus the fuller meaning of >carvi< for them is (The great gods of weather that we are unfit to name or speak of have taken actions that we are unworthly of noticing that result in) A rains from B to C I have not heard any feedback from the other Lojbanistan governments in exile, but that does not mean that they will not come foreward later. What a fine way to start my week and month :-) thank you, Art Protin Arthur Protin These are my personal views and do not reflect those of my boss or this installation.
