Re: [lojban] black boxes



Pierre Abbat scripsit:
> "black box" in English has at least three meanings:
> 1. black box (xekri tanxe)
> 2. a recorder in an airplane (narju tanxe, some sort of vreji)

It is interesting to note that this kind of black box is in fact
orange.

See also "green card" in the Jargon File, which refers to a thick yellow booklet.
