Re: [lojban] New lujvo - mengafxu'i

["Andrii (lOkadin) Zvorygin" <andrii.z@gmail.com>]

personally, I think you have a great idea. .ui, and it is perfect for explaining mind alterning drugs of the modern day.

You can probably add it to our lOjban wiktionary at http://jbo.wiktionary.org
 simple wikipedia syntax. more fame than jbovlAste some might say .u'i

You should add it, .i'o do sArji la lOjban.

mengafxu'i: x1 is a mind-changing-chemical with effect x2

Basically this came up because I was hunting for a lujvo for drugs.
Searching jbovlaste for drug gave me maltcu which is literally "bad
need" and translates better as addiction. Looking further I came across
xukmi which is a little broad. I was looking for something which more
specifically referred to a mind altering substance. Striking out I
decided to form a lujvo of my own (I love lojban)
menli+galfi+xukmi

Asking on #lojban later I was told to submit this to jbovlaste.
Not fearing any technical challenge I headed to
http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/
The sensible thing to do when encountering new territory is to look at
the documentation. I then came across a foreboding sentence telling me
to read the whole thing. Well off I went like a good little boy.
And a bit later I'm still not quite sure how to add a lujvo (I gather I
need anaccount) and what kind of wiki markup is needed.  ahve played
around with LaTeX before so that wouldn't have been unfamiliar.

In the end I decided I would just fire it off to this list and see what
other people thought. If it's good enough as a lujvo somebody would
probably add it at some point.
