[lojban-beginners] Lojban stuff
coi rodo
Still working on Just So Stories
on and off. I finished Lojban for Beginners, which tipped me off
to some nice grammatical cleanups (like using the FA cmavo to pull the
continuing dialogue trick (i.e. "But," he said, "it's too late.")),
which in turn got me revising what I already had. Very near the
beginning of The Beginning of the Armadillos, there's a bit about a
Stickly-Prickly Hedgehog who eats "shelly snails and things." I
used {lo calku cakcurnu} for "shelly snails," but the "and things"
really threw me for a loop. Right now I've got {.e lo simsa}
stuck in there. Is there a generic Lojban word for things?
Stuff? Anything of that nature?
