[lojban-beginners] Several beginner's questions



I got several questions when reading the grammar and trying to translate something.
So I marked them with numbers. Hope you'll answer at least on some of them.

1. How to say "trace, trail" and correspondingly "fingerprint" ?
2. What is the word "parcatu" mentioned at http://www.lojban.org/texts/translations/drbible/drbible_3.html#papipamoi-pagbu ?
3. OK, I use "xu" when putting questions. But imagine that I haven't got a reply to my question. How to cancel my question and go on speaking ?
4. As far as I could understand "go'i" in replies changes "mi" to "do" and vice versa. Is it the only rule ? In my opinion the explanation in the book isn't comprehensive enough.
5. How to say "merry-go-round", "Ferris wheel" and "swing" ? I suggest "zdipincarcukla", "zdirajycarcukla" and "zdislita'o" respectively.
