(Or something like that.) Here are the last few outstanding issues standing in the way of baselining the rafsi. Please vote, O Jimbobs and non-Jimbobs. Numbers refer to lojbab's original proposal numbers. The formulation is mine. 2. balvi (future) keeps bav and gives ba'i to banli (great), which gives bal to balji (bulb), which gives baj to bajra, which had no rafsi. 6. minji (machine) keeps mi'i and gives mij to midju (middle), which gives mid to minde (command), which keeps mi'e and gives min to jmina (laugh), which gives mi'a to cmila (add), which had no rafsi. 21/76. mamta (mother) keeps mam and gives ma'a to cmana (mountain), which gives ca'a to cabra (apparatus), which gives bra to barda (big), which gives bad to bandu (defend), which gives ba'u to bacru (utter), which gives cru to curmi (let), which had cur and cu'i. cur goes to curnu (worm), which gives cu'u to cuntu (affair), which gives cut to cutne (chest), which had no rafsi. cu'i goes to cumki, which had cum and keeps it. 22a. snidu (second) keeps nid and gives si'u to simxu (mutual), which had sim and keeps it. 22b. since (snake) gives sic to stici (west), which had no rafsi. 24. nakni (male), keeps nak and gives na'i to nalci (wing), which had none. 150. fetsi (female) keeps fet and gives fei to fepni (cent), which keeps fep and gives fe'i to fetsi. 42. matra (motor), gives mat to mapti (fit), which had no rafsi. 84. djedi (day) keeps dje and gives dei to degji (finger), which keeps deg and gives de'i to denci (tooth), which had den and keeps it. 95. dinko (nail) gives di'o to dirgo (drop), which had dig and keeps it. 97a. moklu (mouth) has mol; proposal is to replace mol by mok. My positions: PRO on 2, 6, 21/76, 22b, 24, 42, 84. CON on 22a, 150, 95, 97a. -- John Cowan cowan@snark.thyrsus.com ...!uunet!cbmvax!snark!cowan e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
