This is pronounced "musobipi'ereremoi", of course. I like it! This is the sort of serendipitous convention discovery that I appreciate most about Lojban. (If anyone wonders what lojbab really likes about Lojban, it is the sudden insight that comes when the formerly commonplace is reanalyzed in a new way. I also like finding "malglico" constructions in Russian even though I know they are really just artifacts of the common Indo-European heritage). lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org
