It's 23 letter-size pages, including the covers.
It's a poetry book. It contains poems in Lojban with English
translation/glosses. "ziryroi" originally meant "purple-rock" because
it was written before the Great Rafsi Shift. Now it means "a purple
number of times". I got a copy from lojbab on my first logfest ui.
This is the first poem:
<<
