But Lojban is good at negations, avoiding many of the ambiguities that English, say, -- or Loglan even -- lets in. At one time or another, we have argued (not to definite conclusions in any case) for the best way to render the names of the major Gods (or the major names of the God) of the western monotheistic tradition and a bit less so the names of various particular gods (not excluding goddesses) of a variety of polytheisms -- these latter being easier, in general. |
