John,
After reading and relaying the contents of your email to <j8ij>
about no weather gods, I was informed by the Ministry of Religious
Affairs of the Royal Lojbanistan Government in exile that members of
a Lojbanistan religion (whose name is not to be known by us infidels)
take offense at our claim. It seems that "carvi" has what seem to be
negative arguments/places that are always assumed and must never be
spoken. Thus the fuller meaning of >carvi< for them is
(The great gods of weather that we are unfit to name or speak of
have taken actions that we are unworthly of noticing that result in)
A rains from B to C
I have not heard any feedback from the other Lojbanistan governments
in exile, but that does not mean that they will not come foreward later.
What a fine way to start my week and month :-)
thank you,
Art Protin
