Re: [lojban] A phrase with all the phonemes of Lojban?

[djandus <jandew@gmail.com>]

I believe guskant meant to use the English phrase as an analogy, not a direct comparison. That is, the English phrase exemplifies all characters in the alphabet (and is thus used when teaching typing) in the same way he wants a Lojban phrase that exemplifies all phonemes (and would thus be useful when teaching pronunciation).

A worthy project, indeed. I'd forsee anything too long to be very overwhelming for the new lojbanist, though. I've found it far more useful to just have a few stock words/phrases that show off as many morphemes as possible but in a concise way. (It certainly is very helpful to have {coi} and {co'o} already showing off {c} {oi} and {'} right in the first lesson. I remember teaching {coi .djandus.} and already having explained {c} vs. {tc}, {j} vs. {dj}, the {,} {.} {'} group, and be well on my way to explaining the vowels.)
