Not a lot to say. Cowan wrote it up in one of the last JL issues, with 
examples, which I hope to get up on line soon. Basically all PROLOG 
statements map fairly trivially into Lojban bridi. Nick Nicholas worked on 
a Lojban-to-PROLOG translator for a subset of Lojban, which is probably 
either on the lojban.org site or his homepage. I recall that the only 
PROLOG statement that does not have an obvious Lojban equivalent is the 
cut, which seems like a job for a metalinguistic bridi. Those who actually 
know something about PROLOG may be more informative.
