As an aside: "i" appears in Polish as an equivalent of Lojban's {je}, {.e} and {gi'e}. It is often abused by small children who talk like "<something> and <something more> and <yet something more>", effectively re-inventing Lojban's {.i} as a sentence separator (or was it the other way round?). As a side effect, when I read a longer text in Lojban, I have to fight this internal voice of a small child repeating everything in my head.
I have issues, I know ;)
