It's apparently due to xorxes. As it was explained to me: So, say we have a bunch of story text, followed by: no'i taiku mi klama Apparently the colloquial translation is something like: "And so, I went.". This makes absolutely *no* sense to me. Really. None at all. I would like to hear people's comments. xorxes' in particular, but anyone who wants to chime in, feel free. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ BTW, I'm male, honest. le datni cu djica le nu zifre .iku'i .oi le so'e datni cu to'e te pilno je xlali -- RLP http://www.lojban.org/
