Re: [lojban] la .alis.



Okay, I can deal with most of it. I prefer the left example better. (Although I'd rather someone went in with a fine-toothed comb and put those denpa bu in where they belong.) The right-side, I can deal with most of it. There is one thing in that example that is seriously grating, however. To use the first sentence: "...gi'e zukte fi noda. I abuboi...." This is horrible. Accepting your desire to capitalize for this example only, that phrase should be "...gie' zukte fi noda .i Abuboi....". {.i} is the Lojban word for the English period.

If you're going to mark punctuation, I'd prefer you be consistent. For example, "lu<<...>>li'u" but "(to...toi)"? The punctuation should be the same, so "to(...)toi".

I still don't like the capitalization.

I think that a proficient jbopre, preferably Jorge, he being the author, should go through your work and make sure that things such as what I've pointed out are corrected, such as putting the {.} in the right place, and preferably in all the places that {.} has been optionally removed.

OK. I mocked this up quite quickly. First, look again at the Yiddish example:
Then, have a look at the Lojban:
