Assuming you are talking about jbovlaste, here are over 8.5 thousand Lojban words and 9.2 thousand English words in there. Perhaps it's because you only look up unusual ones. "galaxy" isn't a word that comes up in everyday conversation, you know. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
