OK, so you want to use joi for the x2 then (otherwise it doesn't work at all). The problem with that is that it's simply "du". ly ly gy gunma la xorxes joi la robin joi la bab joi lo drata You can replace "gunma" with "du" and it still works. It makes the word totally useless. Having it as a set to mass conversion, however, makes it of some use. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
