Due to network problems, I can read mail at cowan@ccil.org, but
can't post/reply/send from there.  Please direct all private replies
to cowan@ccil.org , not the HotMail address.  Thanks.

As the author of the soon-to-be-published Lojban reference grammar,
which is available on the Web at
ftp://ftp.access.digex.net/pub/access/lojbab/readmap.html#reference-grammar
, I would urge you to learn Lojban rather than (Loglan Institute)
Loglan.  Except for the different vocabulary, everything you know
about Loglan is directly applicable to Lojban, but Lojban is much
richer, has a public domain design, and is STABLE: no one is fiddling
with the language to make what you have learned yesterday, obsolete
tomorrow.

For more details, see
ftp://ftp.access.digex.net/pub/access/lojbab/brochures/loglan.txt .

Feel free to contact other Lojbanists at
mailto:lojban@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu .

Thank you.
