I thought you meant # evidential, but you gloss that separately. I just meant that subclass of evidentials to do with observation, but they don't really merit a lujvo. #fagyfesyvau - let's not be coy. It's a sigfesyvau (or # sigfespalta No problemo :) # zgisrita'e: cassette (zgike dasri tanxe) #zgiku'ocukla: LP (zgike skuro cukla) #zgi?? come off it nick. #snaveisrita'e (sance vreji dasri tanxe) You're quite right. Tape recorder in the jvoste is {zgisrica'a}, and that'll be changing too. No need for that kind of specificity. #+++++++++> # cmaladyca'a: microphone (cmalu cladu cabra; I've been contemplating something #involving 'receiver', but amn't sure how to convey that in Lojban.) #>++++++++++ #'cmalu' is not relevant. How about #selylauca'a (se cladu cabra) or #snaterga'eca'a (sance te ganse cabra) or even #tinca'a (tirna cabra) I used {cmalu} to distinguish the device from a megaphone, which is after all doing the same job. I'm not enthusiastic about any of your suggestions, though {selylauca'a} seems the best for the job. #ta'o, zoi ly. lad ly. cu rafsi zo ladru .e nai zo cladu .i di'u se sarcu #le nu pilno zo zoi ki'u le nu zoi ly. lad ly. valsi fi no la lojban kei vau .ue # .oi Your use of the comma is quite neat, although its already being used will preclude it from being taken up thus. I think you meant to say {fi noda pe la lojban}, or {fi no da la lojban.} Thanks for catching those problems; that's why I post these lists, after all. ############################################################################## # Der Mensch liegt in groesster Noth, You are reading another .sig from # Der Mensch liegt in groesster Pein; the NICK NICHOLAS .sig Factory.
