... I see. I've thought about whether it makes any difference. I suppose you might get a 'ber' embedded inside a larger compound sometimes. 'paniberdan' ...
... west are ... Ones like that left/right pair are what I don't like. They imply that right is the better of the two. Our society sees it that way to some ...
... Nasalizing the vowel, you mean? How would you write that? By omitting the space? ... I can hear the difference too, but it's murder for nonnatives. One...
What exactly was our rationale for limiting the number of places to three for predicates again? I do think many log/loj preds have too many places, but in...
Oops. I just realized 'dzy' can't sub for Loj 'bu'. It has to be a pinvor. We could use 'zy', if we give the consonants some other kind of naming pattern. --...
... Now I'm liking the '-zy' for the lojban 'bu'. I see it as being used for non-consonants. .azy ('AH-zuh) .ezy, etc. and maybe .alazy for 'l', .emezy,...
... That's odd - I considered that extraneous, and wanted to use a separate predicate for "price". But I suppose "to sell" does inherently include the price,...
... Changing it to 'za' would allow the consonants to still get -y. Why make these letters three syllables? What about .laza, .meza, .niza, .qoza, .ruza? Heck,...
... don't see why not. ... Some will say they're unpronounceable, maybe, but if so, they can use the military words. ... Let's have a vote: 1. Letter names in...
... You are right. But one reason for keeping the maximum number as low as possible is that the higher the maximum the more complex the devices for identifying...
Let's have a vote: 1. Letter names in Cy 2. Letter names in Cew or Cej or some other standard VV 3. Letter names in varied VV forms Baw, Cej, Dwi, etc. ...
... The main problem I see with this option is that, though it is very easy to learn and remember, as in Esperanto it makes letter names easily confusable. ......
... Yes. Let's back off and think a minute about what we want letter names for. 1. To spell words 2. To use as pronouns. 3. ? For 1., anything will do. It's...
Basic letter names now baselined at http://www.geocities.com/ceqli/letternames.html I need input on nonconsonant military letter names. They just about have...
... They don't have to be names. 'zy' can attach just fine to a Ceqli word, which seems to be what you have already. And I really think that "uj" would be...
... Well, yes, for Consonants, but for the other letters, I figured we'd need names, because only names (and some pinvor, which we certainly won't want to use...
Before we get too deep into 'opposites', does anyone know what the rationale was in changing Loglan 2-placers with the meaning x1 is greener, bigger, smarter)...
... than "aj". ... Well, if letters are going to have similar-looking names, in the manner of Lojban and Esperanto, then I'd rather vote for Lojban's option of...
... If Cy is an option, my vote is certainly for it. It's worked just fine for pronouns in Lojban. But watch out with that 'cy dy'... you need a terminator...
... Because it made no sense whatsoever to have colors be comparatives? In the Loglan system, the natural way of saying "This is not blue" asserted that it was...
... Actually, that's what I always thought. It seemed like they were groping for some kind of meaning for x2, and that was all they could come up with. ... ...
... In Lojban, the terminator 'boi' is used to end a number or a string of letters, since they are considered grammatically equivalent. {by dunda cy boi dy} B...
... I would regard "give" and "take" as opposites, and "give" and "recieve" as reversal of places. That's the important distinction. I somewhat like the idea...
