Thx. OK. As for instance "le prenu". But suppose I don't know whether the said translator is a person or something else, say an alien or something. What's the most generic sumti I could put there? Would "tu" work? Or "da" ? Any sumti meaning "person(s) or thing(s) or anything else" would work fine. If it's short, so much the better. > Or you could just use "xu do fanva la abiUORD". You see, I asked the above questions because I'd like to translate some other headless relative clause into lojban, and "xu do fanva la abiUORD" just doesn't work for that one. --jordi ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
