I propose dunba'u (dunli bacru): > "x1 pronounces x2 and x3 equally", then we have: > mi dunba'u le mi cmene zo avital > > Another useful lujvo might be ba'urdu'i: x1 is pronounced as x2 (by x3). > This place structure order is probably more useful if we want to > say how a word is pronounced in general, rather than by some > particular speaker. These are plausible lujvo but not what I had in mind, which was something like "x1 pronounces the expression x2 with utterance x3", mapping a linguistic form to its phonetic realization: bau la inglic. la djan broda zoi gy. foo gy. zo fu or the like. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
