Re: [lojban] Should we have another mailing list for abstruse discussions?

Yeah, but English is syntactic, as is Lojban, so it isn't as surprising. Latin is inflected, and yet we see termset-like structure in it as well, with the "sets" consisting of nouns of the same case when a new verb has not been introduced. It's interesting as a result.

Hey, we do it in English, too, and in most other languages I know, though not in toki pona.  Notice that it is both more complicated and more precise in Lojban.

...+1 to this, wow. As someone that knows both languages it's *really* interesting how closely related those concepts are.
