X-To: lojban@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu To: John Cowan X-Mozilla-Status: 0005 Content-Length: 1627 Nora has been working (off line) on analyzing lujvo for inclusion in the dictionary. She sees a general class of words in the list of already created lujvo which have been formaed inconsistently. I won;t go into details but will let anybody and everybody analyze it themselves using Chapter 12 of the Book or any other raionale for determining place structure. The concept is "almost correct". The forming tanru is either jibni drani or drani jibni Which should it be? (Bonus credit for forming the lujvo yourself %^) Why? What shoudl the palce structure be? As the comparing/contrasting examples, let me pose mutce xamgu vs xamgu mutce and xamgu traji vs traji xamgu For those who want to cheat, Nick Nicholas has "jibni drani" as the basis for a word in his lujvo list, with aplace struture that Nora is not sure she agrees with. At particular issue is that there is more than one interpretation of the forming tanru in whichever order, and in some cases the alternative interpetation would be useful. I will say no more ( for now). All comments will be collected for Nora who will read and eventually comment lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@access.digex.net Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: ftp.access.digex.net /pub/access/lojbab or see Lojban WWW Server: href="http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/" Order _The Complete Lojban Language_ - see our Web pages or ask me.
