[lojban] A marginally humorous event



I'm not sure if I am putting this in the right place; perhaps
Lojban beginners would be a better place.  Just tell me if I
made a mistake about where to place this.

I just did something that I find really interesting in one of
the documents that I am currently creating to be posted on my
web site.  I, having had described all of the morphological
rules, that cmevla must follow, then mentioned that one could
also use a valid selbri as a cmene.  I brought up the fact that
Native Americans are the most well known example of people
doing this in natural languages, using "Walking Bear" as an
example (a reference to the episode "How Sharper Than a
Serpent's Tooth" of the Star Trek: The Animated Series), and
then noticed and pointed out that that could easily be
translated in to Lojban "la cadzu cribe".

Also, for those who think that I should not be writing about
things that are already covered, I'd have to say that I am
writing these things primarily to improve my comprehension of
things.  First, it helps to take the concept explained in one
way, and rewrite them in a way that seems more natural
*for me*.  Secondly; less importantly, I think; that just
having to think about them well enough to compose a document
about them might, perhaps, help improve the memory of them by
what amounts to simple review.  I post them on the web because
I that that someone else *might* find my writings useful.
