my head spins in circles trying to figure out that sentence (i'm just
learning lojban)... here is my attempt to parse it - converted to
fanva's natural order:

1-zo'e
fanva
2-fe lu 
ko sanli gi'e lebna le mlatu 
li'u
3-fi la pisin 
4-zo'e
5-fu zoi py. 
yu sanap na kisim pusi 
.py

= 'the pisin sentence "stand and take the cat" translates into "yu
sanap na kisim pusi" '

how did i do?
