Oh, that's a bit difficult as there are a handful of different
Rhaeto-Roman dialects (they still hadn't been able/willing to gather

Grischun (Graub=FCndnerisch/Grison?) - see above. I'll have to=20
visit the Tonguetwister's site to see the dialect respective.

Me too! It's funny having the tertirxu (or the "tiger mark" as a
lujvo) but seemingly no gismu (or lujvo?) for the "stripes" of the=20
star-spangled banner! Would this be too offending for the world's
expected Lojban speakers?!  Or should we express this by, say, /
termerlanci/  (x3 is the color/pattern of x1) ;-)
