Why not a cmene? It is the name >of one particular character, isn't it? I don't see a problem with either. We use lots of different names and descriptions in other languages, Mary, Holy Mary, Virgin Mary, Holy Mother of God, Our Lady of Mercy, Mystic Rose, and so many others, there's no reason to restrain ourselves in Lojban. I also don't see what could be offensive about {lo mamta be lo cevni} = "a mother of a god" and similar expressions, but then people do tend to be touchy about godly matters. Whether one believes the expression could truly apply to something in the world is a different question from whether the expression makes sense. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WRITERS WANTED!
