Re: [lojban] "lo no"

Well, actually, the root is just mh, the d comes from de and the eis, emia,  en 
from the word for one.  So it is strictly the negative stem, not the root that 
carries over (the de here seems to be emphatic "not even"). The same works for 
oudeis. though I've never seen something called an (o)udad  (I remember that 
there are some specific reasons for choosing one rather than the other, but I 
can't remember what they are: my fraternity changed from one to the other 
because the the verb in its motto was optative -- I thjnk -- but the real choice 
seems to be more whimisical than that).

The root of μηδεις is μηδεν-, just as the root of εις is εν: ο μηδεις, του 
μηδενος, τω μηδενι, τον μηδενα. The root of μονος is μον-; it declines like a 
regular 2nd/1st declension adjective.
