I was sitting at home quietly, when I got a message saying that Veijo and Nick, who are at the Cafe Jbolaz, want to see me there. "What's up?" - no reply. They are deep in a discussion about Fraktur. Me? I can take it or leave it. I sit down at a table next to their's and wait for someone to notice me, either them or one of the people serving who might bring me some coffee. My table is dark with age. On it is carved "I", a heart, and "algebra". I like this table. I forget about Veijo and Nick and start to ponder. I too am interested in all kinds of symbolic system, whether formal ones like abstract algebra, or more flexible ones such as natural and artificial languages. That's the reason I'm studying Lojban, which is why I'm at the "Jbolaz". A waiter comes and takes my order for a large, strong coffee, and wanders off, not heading for the kitchen. Ah, it looks like they've spotted me at last. We say hello. Perhaps now I'll find out the reason for all the rush. -------------------------------------- The only change from the previous version is to change the {noi nalvai fa} to {ra'anai}, which I think better expresses the fact that the qualities in question are irrelevant to the {nu cinri}. (If there any objections to this change, use your discretion in resolving them - I'm going to be de'a mrilu for a while.) I've no further update on my other kafybarja piece - go with the posted revision. Iain.
