Sometimes it might be a little clumsy, but it still works. My first thought is to use "kanydji" (d1=k1 k2 k3 d3), i.e. "mi kanydji do", to which you could then add any attitudinals you want. you could make a tanru with claxu if you really want to state that you actually are not with her. This is one of the most interesting parts of Lojban, in my opinion, making up neat new words to enrich the language. The idea is to have the lujvo define themselves, and make up more words for the same idea, each with different connotations different from similar English words. i co'o mi'e adam araizen@newmail.net ------------------------------------------------------------- The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. --Robert Heinlein ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Show your style!
