[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?
