My fellow jbobre, Have you visited the land where Lojban is spoken? It's called samxarmuj, meaning "computerized imaginary universe". It's a text-based world...
coi rodo I started writing a story. I put it on the wiki so people can help me fix grammar and word choice. It is still being written, so the plot still has ...
What is the history of the ba'a/ba'acu'i/ba'anai scale? What, if any, is the natural-language inspiration for it? Does a Hopi equivalent exist? -- Arnt Richard...
... I'd have to do a lot of digging to be sure about this. But here's a quick response. See if it suffices, and ask for further digging if necessary. The...
I always thought it was a deliberate decision, not a grammar limitation. What's the difference between your modified (trailing sumti accepting) SEI/SEhU and...
Yeah, I didn't realize that the point was that you mostly don't have to say "se'u". Question withdrawn. -Robin ... -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/...
... It was indeed the elidable terminator (and the desire to be able to elide it) that led to the restriction. lojbab To unsubscribe from this list, send mail...
How should we express these terms? inflect - I'm thinking {ja'ocne} (x1 varies in x2, showing x3, or something like that) conjugate, decline. Verbs conjugate,...
... How about vlacne: "x1 varies/inflects in manner x2 meaning/causing x3 in language x4" ... brivlacne, sumvlacne? ... Why would you expect it to be declined?...
... The Russian past tense has four forms: masculine, feminine, neuter, and plural; just like the short form of an adjective. It does not inflect for person,...
... I see. I would say it's still conjugation. The passé composé for some verbs in French also agrees in gender and number with its subject, doesn't it? mu'o...
... The passé composé consists of "être" or "avoir", which is conjugated just as it is when it's the main verb, and the past participle, which agrees in ...
My wife is taking some work-related courses in .NET stuff and in particular VB applications (and SQL server, though we aren't sure how to make it relevant...
Personally I would make it with java. It is an easy to learn language and it is portable, so any Lojban efforts are not restricted for use in windows. mu'o...
... Not a lot of choice. The course that she is taking uses VB in Visual Studio, which I suspect is extremely Windows specific, since it is a Microsoft...
... <delurk> Yep, .NET and anything that uses it is windows-bound There was a little project about lojban and java some years ago, I do not know where it is...
This program http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ looks to make it really easy to add languages. Someone should try Lojban, perhaps starting with the Esperanto,...
I've used {kanbyma'i ce jaurbeima'i li'o} for months, but I've been having second thoughts about this. Those words would be better used for the times of year...
... Huh?? The hours are numbers. You say {ti'u} to indicate that it's a time. The names of the months have a place structure "x1 is the January/etc. of year ...
... I think I prefer using number form for month, so January would be {pavma'i} = "x1 is the first month of the year x2", Febuary = {relma'i}, March = ...
... As I understand it, some people begin the week on Sunday and others on Monday. We can have the same names for six days of the week by using {zeldei} or ...
... You could say the same about {de'i} and months, although months are more like minutes than like hours, as they go in the middle. {de'i li pi'e xa pi'e}...
