Belated Seasons' Greetings to you all; have been off-net for a while. The discussion on selbroda <> se broda has been, to say the least, interesting; it does subtly crop up in the formation of other lujvo, but it's a distinction which, in the lack of more information and consensus, I've ignored in the list of lujvo place structures I've compiled. I will write up a paper on lujvo place structures some time in February. ############################################################################## # Der Mensch liegt in groesster Noth, You are reading another .sig from # Der Mensch liegt in groesster Pein; the NICK NICHOLAS .sig Factory.
