I took "parecida" as the Portuguese word (it means "similar" or "appeared"), then noticed the similarity to the people named at the end, then thought {123 da} and extended the last word to {parecivomu}. :) phma To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
