Is there any update on this? I'd be interested to hear more about what type of dictionary this may be -- English to Lojban or Lojban to English, whether a Lojban to English dictionary would list words by type (gismu, cmavo, etc) or just alphabetically, whether rafsi would be listed, whether an English to Lojban dictionary might have sections for words related to one another as well as a pure alphabetical list (i.e. like many vocabulary books I used when I was at school learning foreign languages). The categorised style probably wouldn't be ideal for a dictionary, but I personally think it could be a useful learning resource. -- George Foot (george.foot@merton.ox.ac.uk) Merton College, Oxford.
