RE: [lojban] Re: the muezzin's cry

Actually, that's not just for this. It's becauseit's really hard to translate arabic. Every english Quran I've seen says it captures only the roughest meaning of the word of allah - not the actual sacred writing. Of course it only captures a rough meaning, not for religious reasons but because that's all a translation of ANYTHING to ANY LANGUAGE does.
