Back-translating without the original in front of me, as a check.

At the 6th room, and adjacent to the [thingy; I think just lalxu is
sufficient].  You want "be" before "re'o", IMO, because it's the 6th
pool-adjacent-room.

Why, oh why, isn't there a gismu for "fi'i"?  I don't like "fi'i lo
zgana" as a sentence by itself; I suggest {lo zgana cu zanvi'e}.
But anyways: "Observers welcome.  However, speakers of natural
languages are required to write on paper.  Lojbanists hunger for
being in the same place as other Lojbanists speaking only Lojban,
the logical language."
