Re: [lojban] Pun that translates to lojban, but I can't do it

The thing that bothers me about my lojban attempt is my translation of the English "study" (x1 is a scientific study with subjects x2 and topic x3, for example).

"loplandu'e" is meaningless ("lop" isn't assigned as rafsi to anything). I
think you mean "lo planydu'e". And it does work in Lojban, since the tanru at
the end, being a tanru, can be interpreted both ways. So can the one at the
beginning.
