I think it's pretty elegant and, more interestingly, it's a very good exmaple of the English being longer than the Lojban (which is always something I have trouble coming up with good examples for). -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
