Re: [lojban-beginners] Temper

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

I'm a little confused by what you mean by "temper".  My first thoughts when I hear the word are: 1) the personality trait.  and 2) what one does to metals.  I've never heard of this third kind of "to temper" and I don't see anything like it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temper

Also, I like your name.  Was it intentionally lojbanic?

My first thought is "mligau" ("milxe zei gasnu").
