The convention in answering Q-word questions, though, is to give only the replacement for the Q-word. Thus a typical question with "ma" will be answered with a sumti, and a question with "mo" will be answered with a selbri. A full bridi answer would be taken to override (parts of) the question: la lojban. mo du la loglan. What is Lojban? It is Loglan. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org C'est la` pourtant que se livre le sens du dire, de ce que, s'y conjuguant le nyania qui bruit des sexes en compagnie, il supplee a ce qu'entre eux, de rapport nyait pas. -- Jacques Lacan, "L'Etourdit" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-Earn 300 Points from MyPoints.com for trying @Backup Get automatic protection and access to your important computer files.
