I have been going through the whole thing and revising it. It is already in standard Lojban. The only things that don't parse might be a couple of {ka'enai} here and there, anything else nonparsable is unintentional. As for things like my use of {ji'i}, I would be willing to change it given the strong rejection it seems to cause, but not to {bi'i}, which I understand to be for intervals. I might just use {ji'i re} or {ji'i ci} for a less faithful but also less controversial translation. As for the dots (which are NOT punctuation in Lojban), wouldn't it be possible to generate an automatic dotted version for those who can't read the dotless one? I don't think this issue is very important anyway, I'm more concerned with the substantial changes. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
