... That would make for a nice long word:) I don't seem to have a word for 'anniversary' so far, and I suppose it should be put together like 'datreveno.'...
BTW, if you're a true Lojbaner, I'd really appreciate your input into the whole name problem. Assuming that Lojban is like Loglan in certain respects, I'm...

... I think the mandatory pauses around foreign words (and in a few other contexts, if I remember right) are one of the most annoying features of Lojban, which...
... Agree. And the other annoying thing for me was the set of allomorphs, which I initially recommended be corrected by what eventually became the Ceqli...

Gad, the names thing bugs me. I guess, in theory, Ceqli or Loglan or Lojban could have an infinite number of names, far more than any other word form. And...
Okay. Names are not a simple thing. I note that in Guaspi, James Carter uses two prefixes to make names. qu (for guaspi names) and qo (for foreign names)....
