[lojban-beginners] metaphorical poor



Hello,

i cannot find the translation for the metaphorical 'poor', ie in the
sense used in "poor of us!".
This of course doesn't mean "we are not rich", but rather something
which is a subtile mixture of unluckyness (not mandatorily), sadness,
humility(sometimes), and other things.

You might wonder why i need this...
Well, i'm trying to learn by translating things. And so, i'm wondering
if there is a place where people work together in translating (somehow
classical) texts, one could show the translation and people say if one
should change things etc.

This makes two questions.
