Why bother with >Lojban if it's used as a concept-for-concept cipher of English? Indeed I wouldn't bother if Lojban were so used.

How would you translate the name "Man-They-Fear-Even-His-Horses". co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
