Lojban: The Next Generation

[Sualc Atnas <voyou@NETREACH.NET>]

After having been inactive in Lojban for about two years, I went down to
LogFest last weekend and got into it again. I was pleased to find that I
retained nearly everything I learned and was able to make halfway credible
posts on IRC.

So I decided to write a few small things with the aid of the Grammar Bible.
I wanted to use the tense cmavo as much as could be tolerated, and not
invent too many lujvo. (One out of two ain't bad.) I find I have also
retained the ability to "think" in Lojban, at least to the degree that I
understand the language.

So here it is. Just a small blue thing, as Suzanne Vega would say, provided
you have set your monitors' colors that way.

I will post the translation in a few hours.

I expect it is full of grammatical errors; but please, no remarks like "the
searcher is a kind of job" or flames about the terminator vowel in
<<terbilmr,LAIMe>>

I am very sensitive and I might cry ...
