Re: [lojban] la .alis.



For some reason, the accented letters got replaced by weird letter combinations. Her's the same text with capitals instead:

Thank you, la selpa'i. I will investigate that. If Jorge and you agree on it, I have no reasonable doubts.

I guess that glottal-stopping is not wrong, though? I prefer it that way.

Inserting glottal stops between words is always allowed.

Does not {la uiski ui} otherwise become /lau,iskiu,i/, with confusing diphthongs? Is that desirable?

That cannot happen. The stress is on the first syllable of "uiski": {la UIski ui}. If you leave out the spaces, you get {laUIskiui}, which can only fragment into la UIski ui because: 1) "laUIski" can't be a single word, because the stress is on UIski, and the la falls off due to tosmabru 2) the trailing "ui" can not be part of uiski because again the stress makes everything after the next syllable fall off. Also, the u of "ui" cannot be part of uiski (*"uiskiu") because that's not a legal word (remember that it would have to be pronounced [wiskiw], which is illegal. And the i couldn't possibly be seperate either, because [i] alone doesn't constitute a legal lojban word, as Lojban words can't begin in a vowel.
