It's in:

You're right. I should have read "jUgypre". There is no 'd'. Mmm I've listened
again at what I recorded, and I think I don't pronounce that 'd'. But...
statistics show that I am reading a 'dj'.

You're right. My fault. :)

That's "da poi nalcitno ninmu". I read that with a pause because that's what I
usually do when using that grammatical structure.


About the transcriptions by 'xod' and 'xorxes', I don't know what to say... I
read it in the more correct way I could. I mean, applying the rules of
pronunciation (apart from the misses commented in this mail) I've learnt from
the docs.

Now I'll record the lojban alphabet. Then, I'll know if I'm pronouncing any
sound bad. Thanks! :)
Here it is, at the same place:
