I get a ride to church with a Mexican, and sometimes he asks me questions like "=BFQu=E9 es la diferencia entre morir y te=F1ir?" ("zo= mrobi'o cu frica zo
skagau ma?"), and I have to think for a few seconds, because the quest= ion
makes no sense until I realize he's asking about the English words. The= re are
no differently spelled homophones in Lojban, but there are some minimal pai= rs
and words differing by exchanging two sounds. So Alpha could ask Beta "= ;What's
the difference between soda and egg?" or "Which is the rat and wh= ich is the
rabbit, again?"

Another possibility is that Beta could teach Alpha a tonguetwister and Alph= a
asks what the words mean. So Beta says "le xruki le ginxre xrixruba xu= xrula
cu xrani" and Alpha asks what "xrixruba" is, or what "x= u" means when it's
inside a tanru.

La sal en el mar es m=E1s que en la sangre.
Le sel dans la mer est plus que dans le sang.
