(Your message got mangled, with headers put in the body, and ended up in my inbox instead of the lojban-list folder.) May we go ahead and change things if something's wrong? I found an error ("lo nu abu nuntru" should be "lonu abu turni") and I'd have called her "xadasat" or "adasat" rather than "xadasas" because the feminine ending was originally "-t".
