coi ro do I'm working on a translation of Mark Twain's "The five boons of life". Here's a sentence I've been working on for several days: "For each hour of...
... {la nunpa'i noi tcica canja cu vecnu} has to go in the prenex. Without doing that, what you wrote means "For each hour of happiness, the treacherous ...

I don't consider stage 1 and stage 2 borrowings to be fu'ivla, because to me fu'ivla means "single brivla that is based on a borrowing from another language". ...
... I think cmevla should be a class of brivla. Stage 1 are quoted text, so they are not even borrowings. mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send...

... Yes, I have to admit I was thinking of {zoi}, which is to quote foreign text, not to borrow it, and not of {la'o} which is indeed to borrow, at least if we...
... An utterance that includes a zoi quote is Lojban utterance. A zoi quote thus "borrows" the foreign text for use in a Lojban utterance. lojbab To...
