I presume that is for the same reason as what selpa'i mentioned with his {.i ki'u bo} suggestion?

I am obviously not French, but my understanding from Wikipédia was grasshopper = criquet = pipyjalra: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criquet https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauterelle_%28insecte%29 My pet Plipe is a Valanga irregularis, so I used criquet to mean grasshopper, not cricket. I hope I was not wrong to do so. Thanks again. From: lojban@googlegroups.com <lojban@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Pierre Abbat <phma@bezitopo.org>

Besides inserting "lo nu" as Bruno suggested, another way to fix the grammar is to connect the two bridi with "ini'ibo". > i mi ze'u ciska dei.i mi ba za'u re'u ciska. > > mu'o > > > > Cher journal, > > Je m'appelle Timotheos.

"But you eat all these reptile birds that walk on four and have knees higher than their legs to jump." grasshopper=sauterelle=pipyjalra, cricket=grillon=sagjalra; but I don't like "jalra" used to refer to Orthoptera because they're not closely related. The cockroaches and termites are now placed in the same order, so I have no problem with "mudyctijalra" (which could also refer to the wood-eating cockroach that isn't a termite), but the Orthoptera are outside the Dictyoptera. And what do we call katydids (which are not in the family Katydidae)? What sort of orthopteran does "xargolu" mean?
