The corresponding form CCVVCy can then be used as a rafsi to form lujvo. Is this stuff still considered baselined? In which case Pierre's list will need transforming into this format. If it's not considered to be current Lojban any more I'd like to know, as I was going to be building support for this into the next release of jbofi'e (in terms of the algorithm to split lujvo into rafsi at least). Clearly this might save me some work :-) co'o mi'e ritcyd. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard P.
