Actually, I don't think phonology is on ftp site.  I know I looked all
over for it.  I found it in the www page.  Not on ftp.

ti works fine for both (spatial and temporal), I'd guess... le temci be
ti bei le nu go'i

It's a leaf all right.  Specially redesigned one, true, but leaf
nevertheless.

Subject: Phonology/Morphology standard

The standard for the Lojban Morphology and Phonology is the "Synopsis".
If it is on the server it will probably be in a file synopsis.txt or
something like that.  The published version is very heavily formatted
and I may never have tried to turn it into a plaintext version for the
net, and since it was published using an old version of Microsoft Word,
even >I< would have to reformat it in order to play with it now that I
work in Word for Windows (though that reformat is fairly minor in many
cases, it probably won't be for this document).

Parts of the synopsis have been edited into the draft dictionary, but
those sections are so incomplete as to be worthless for uploading.
