[lojban-beginners] Re: Lojban Breakfast

["J. Scott Jewell" <thatskotkid@gmail.com>]

The lujvo list floating around on the internet lists {jintitnanba} for
"donut", from djine, titla, and nanba.  So, ring-ish-sweet
bread?  It works well enough for me.  I finally settled on
{joi} for the bread and butter, though "bread in a mass with butter"
brings up some very odd mental images in the English.  Thanks for
the help!

I think it should be {lo djine}, meaning "a ring/annulus/torus/circle." If you say "I ate a ring," people will understand what you're talking about, they just won't know whether it's an onion ring, a bagel, a donut, etc. but it's good enough. If you like you could also use {lo nanba djine}, "bread torus."
