Re: [lojban] Summary: Cultural fu'ivla



2010/3/31 Jorge Llambías <jjllambias@gmail.com>

I wouldn't say it's impossible. You could have as the rule something
like code xyz becomes fu'ivla xaybzc, where a, b, and c are functions
of x, y, z such that xaybzc always results in a valid fu'ivla. The
problem is that the result would usually be hardly anything
recognizable.

Even more restrictive.

True, but also more internally consistent.

Was your list picked randomly, or were the examples hand-picked so
that they would convert easily into a fu'ivla? If the former, you may
have something, if the latter, the method has not really been tested.

Something in between.  I had only done those three language families, or maybe one or two more.  So they're not entirely random, but they're also not really hand picked.
