Oh, that's a bit difficult as there are a handful of different Rhaeto-Roman dialects (they still hadn't been able/willing to gather into=20 one language) with different orthographical rules. I once dealt with Grischun (Graub=FCndnerisch/Grison?) - see above. I'll have to=20 visit the Tonguetwister's site to see the dialect respective. > >What is /tartertirxu lanci/??? >=20 > Beats me. I've never seen a red-and-white tiger. Is it a relative of the Pink > Panther? Me too! It's funny having the tertirxu (or the "tiger mark" as a lujvo) but seemingly no gismu (or lujvo?) for the "stripes" of the=20 star-spangled banner! Would this be too offending for the world's expected Lojban speakers?! Or should we express this by, say, / termerlanci/ (x3 is the color/pattern of x1) ;-) co'o mi'e .aulun.
