Belknap" Subject: FAQ To: John Cowan Status: OR X-From-Space-Date: Fri Nov 24 12:47:42 1995 X-From-Space-Address: LOJBAN%CUVMB.BITNET@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU Here's a couple for Chris to put in his FAQ list: 1. Why do some texts use instead of <'> (This was discussed on the list, but I'm still not sure why one is better than the other. Could I take a text with s and do a search & replace with <'> and end up with "standard" lojban?) 2. What parts of the language are well worked out, and which parts are in flux? 3. How was the default place order of sumti in a selbri determined? (There does not appear to be any rhyme or reason for the order of sumti in many gismu.) 4. What are the most current revisions of each part of the language descriptions? 5. How can I look up gismu, lujvo, and cmavo when I am translating from lojban? 6. Steven M.
