[lojban-beginners] Re: Lojban "r"



It is not my "pronunciation" that is incorrect or the problem. Using
an "english 'r' " or trilled 'r' sound just before or after the letter
'e' in lojban turns that sound into a "ei". I'm saying that lojban's
"use whatever 'r' sound you like" position will and does lead to
potential ambiguity. If someone would show me how saying "lerfu" and
"leirfu" sound any different, I would like to know.
