Re: [lojban-beginners] Lojban Lessons Livestream tonight!

In the third part, you kept arguing that the initial "i" or "u" in ii and uu is pronounced differently than they are in other diphthongs, but it explicitly is EXACTLY the same (see chapter 3) aionys is correct. There are NO exceptions. "ii" is NOT irregular. They have palatal onglides. They are formed exactly the same in front of the same vowel as they are in front of different vowels.

That is VERY weird, since it breaks the isomorphism he himself created. (And I learned the language back in '75, before the introduction of "h" into the language, and I never pronounced it as anything other than LOHG-lahn), although I admit I have never heard JCB say it.

Oh, another aside to Jameson -- you assert in your lesson hyperbolically that no one uses mi'a, mi'o, ma'a and do'o. Not true. While I don't use do'o very much, I most certainly the other three a LOT.

I heard JCB himself say "LOG-luhn" when I phoned him once. It really took me by surprise because I'd always said it and heard it in my head as "Log-lan", sounding almost like "Log" + "land".

However, you did definitely mispronounce "Loglan", which has the same vowelization as lojban.

Even so, the name is a portmanteau of "logical language". I see no issue with saying "loglan" like wood local-network.
