Less than Lojban, because English has more parts of > speech, and less nesting? It is a myth that English has more parts of speech than Lojban's more than a hundred. If "cmavo" counts as one single part of speech in Lojban, then "monosyllable" counts as one single part of speech in English too, and English has only two parts of speech: monosyllables and non-monosyllables. But of course neither "cmavo" nor "monosyllable" are parts of speech in any reasonable sense. mu'o mi'e xorxes 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.
