(BTW, you might try running lojbanic stuff that you don’t understand through jbofi’e http://www.lojban.org/jboski), which would have said, in this case, religion-ish-crime*/sin*-ish-person(s). (It works on any length lojban utterance as long as their grammatical (although there are a couple of constructs it falls down upon, which I needn’t go into at your level of lojban learning), and it’s also good to doublecheck anything that you are saying in lojban is grammatical, and says what you intend it to say.)

> 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 ( J )
