short treat from LogFest

[Logical Language Group <lojbab@ACCESS.DIGEX.NET>]

4 of us sat up late into the night translating and coining aphorisms.
Enjoy.

>From The Notebooks of Lazarus Long, by Robert A. Heinlein:

Ko zukte lenu loi birje cu manku.
Always store beer in a dark place.

ko jundi lo certu noi xusra le duu da nalcui ria de .ijebabo ko zukte da
Always listen to experts.  Theyll tell you what cant be done, and why.  Then do
 it.

cilre jonai tordu lifri
You live and learn.  Or you dont live long.

ko satre le ninmu jamfu
Rub her feet.

ko na troci co xarnymau lo mlatu
Never try to outstubborn a cat.

loi prenu cu jitfa tavla fi loi tercinse
Everybody lies about sex.


Original fancy:

ko tadni le fadni se jadni

lo rirci ritli cu jinzi cinri mi

le dargu be le xamgu bangu cu kargu

loi gubni gundi cu gunma gunka

pa .i re .i kancu de
.i ci .i vo .i kancu do
.i mu .i xa .i kancu ma
.i ze .i bi .i kancu mi
.i so .i no .i kancu ko
