Even granting these, and the rest of the stuff on that page, ralcku is a crappy lujvo for the web because it's just not specific enough. ralcku could be a library. Almost a third of the world would probably assume that ralcku was the Bible (that's the most important book, right?). Another quarter would assume it was the Koran. I mean, *come* *on*. It means 'most important book'. Not only is that ridiculously ambigous *now*, it's pretty much guarnteed to become obsoleted over time. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ BTW, I'm male, honest. le datni cu djica le nu zifre .iku'i .oi le so'e datni cu to'e te pilno je xlali -- RLP http://www.lojban.org/
