What we usually use for this is "kixsku" (also sometimes spelled "ki'asku") which is from krixa + cusku (to say) and means x1 cries out expression x2 to audience x3 through medium x4. With "du'u" the first place is a predication, a meaning, and the second place is a sentence that expresses that meaning. Neither of those fit directly with the second place of "krixa", which is a sound. mi'e .telselkik. mu'o --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= Lojban Beginners" group.
