Re: [lojban] Re: A new guide that needs guidance



-It looks like I went too deep here so I'll round it up...
Why doesn't lojban have something even remotely like NATO's alphabet? Not long names for lerfu but just different enough. I know how pronounce a quite large part of the IPA main chart but don't ask me to do strange vowels... ie. I can say py. and by. But I can't differentiate them. So why not something like (byb. pyp.) for example?

-There are natlangs that use verbs as adjectives, called stative verbs if I recall. Compound predicates, I haven't reached that yet and I'm scanning the lessons bit by bit.

›› 3. I noticed (mi'e) and (mi'afra) which look like a (mi) with things attached... Should this mean that whenever there's an apostrophe for the sound /h/, the syllables before and after the apostrophe should be counted as one word? ie. /h/ could never be at the beginning or the end of a word?
