[lojban-beginners] Test, and a request for help

[Colin Wright <colin.wright@denbridgemarine.com>]

OK, I can't post from my other name because the system won't let me use the 
email address that I've set up, so I've registered again and I'll try this.

No, this isn't just a test, there are lists specifically set up for that 
(thank you Robin).  This is a cry for help.

I've tried and failed to set up SuperMemo, but it looks like complete overkill 
for what I want.  Inspired by its algorithm, however, I've created a Python 
script that does what I want.

It needs feeding.

I've got the huge input list of lojba/English words (thanks again Robin) but 
it's simply too big.  I need to get an initial vocabulary.  So what lojban 
words should a beginner learn first?

    Numbers from 1 to 10
    me, you, them, imperative, this, that
    house, think, give, bridi negation,
    like, have, 
    A few indicators

What I need is for each person to take from their own personal active 
vocabulary just 3 to 5 words.  Ideally I'd like them in this form:

    lojban:dunda:english:give
    english:rain:lojban:carvi
    english:never:lojban:ronai

but anything will do.  Please, don't send me huge lists taken from the files 
available.  I have them.  I'm looking for the words that you know, that you 
have to hand/mind, that you think of using.

Please send them to me at either:

    lojban@solipsys
    colin.wright@denbridgemarine.com

Thanks
