Re: [lojban-beginners] rafsi for "mi"

[Michael Turniansky <mturniansky@gmail.com>]

   Well, there's always the option of using "zei" to create lujvo with words that have no appropriate rafsi.  That's what it's for.

OK, I should have checked everything through jvozba.

Some time ago I was wondering whether lojban could really imitate Amerindian one-word sentences as Wikipedia says (like zdane'ikemcmafagyso'ikemprununjelca and others)

mibypamdoi. I believe this can be translated as "You love me".

And my question is what is the rafsi for "mi" that ends with a vowel ?

For "do" we have "don" and "doi".

For "mi" we have only "mib". Why the authors of lojban were so biased ?

Why can't I say somethin like la donpamymib. but using a lujvo instead of this cmene ?

A really handy tool when struggling with lujvo creation/deconstruction is jvozba.  Check it out: http://jwodder.freeshell.org/lojban/jvozba.cgi?tanru=mi+prami+do&vlalei=pluja

In answer to your question though, I believe that "y", when used as rafsi glue, does not count towards the "you must have two consonants back to back in the first five letters" rule.

i.e. I believe that {mibypamdoi} is an acceptable lujvo since ignoring the "y" gives the "bp" consonant cluster.  Or just to be safe you could make it {mibrpamdoi}.

I just tried creating complex lujvo and found that I can't transform the simplest phrase "mi prami do" into a lujvo.

I can do that with "do prami mi" (I get "mibdonpa'i") but what about "mi" ?
