[lojban-beginners] Re: Lojban geography and cultures

> By the way, if gejyspa is reading this, what on earth does "jdazerpre" mean?  I haven't been able to find "zerpre' in the gismu list.

  That’s because “zerpre” is _not_a gismu  Note that it has 6 letters, not five.  jdazerpre is a three rafsi lujvo, from lijda zekri prenu.  jdazei (or, in the form that it appears here, jdazer) means sin, blasphemy or heresy.  A jdazerpre is a heretic/blasphemer/sinner.  Here I’m using it humorously to suggest my “sin” of stating that lojban is not “culturally neutral” in every aspect.   zo’o (
