I wasn't really thinking, obviously. {djedi} is the wrong gismu for the more common meaning of "birthday". Colin had it better with {detri}. Still, I don't see anything wrong with the structure of it; {nu jbena key detri} sounds okay. What's so "*quelle*" about it? :-) >BTW what is Lojban for "portmanteau" ? >one *must* have *meta*-words Lojban tends to have met-everythings coming out of all its orifices. "Portmanteau" as in "word with multiple meanings"? Um, "se smuni be so'i/za'upa da valsi", or simplified lujvo? There are lots of possibilities. ~mark
