(not to Cordoba!) darno refers to both the speaker and Cordoba, it's the relationship between them. In Lojban this is clearly a relationship, but I think the original also suggests that. We don't seem to have (yet) any word for lonely, and I didn't want to use a monster cryptic lujvo there, so I went with an attitudinal. "Lejana y sola" of course refers to Cordoba, but what the poet says and what the poet expresses are not always the same thing, right? I certainly felt that it was the speaker projecting his lonelyness. My first impulse was to use i'inai, the opposite of "togetherness", but this turns out not to be loneliness but privacy! Ideas for "lonely", anyone? co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
