There is a list of all fu'ivla that I could identify as such (and maybe a few more) from existing text in the draft-dictionary/working directory along with all the other word frequency lists. They do not have translations - someone will have to supply them before we get to put them in the dictionary. The answer as to why it hasn't been done, is that no one has done it. It is nowhere near the priority of the major dictionary hangups which are defining and place-structuring as many lujvo as possible and coming up with usable definitions for the cmavo and compounds. Both of these have much larger files in the same directory. The fu'ivla list is small, and relatively easy to define keywordwise, though there is no policy on how to set place structures for the words unless they have a clear parallel among the lujvo. lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org (newly updated!)
