There having been a formal decision by the LLG board that "Lojban is Loglan", the correct word for "loglandic" is of course "lojbo". We can make a lujvo from dzena-lojbo for the ancestral language culture, to which one can prefix mal- if one sees fit zo'o. To refer to the other organization and its version of the language as distinct from our predecessors, the most accurate would be "me la TLIn prenu". lojbab ---- lojbab ***NOTE NEW ADDRESS*** lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: see Lojban WWW Server: href=" http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/ " Order _The Complete Lojban Language_ - see our Web pages or ask me.
