BNF Description of Lojban

[cbmvax!uunet!cellar!marquidf]

        Since I have a copy of the complete Lojban language description, it 
would probably do me well if I knew how to READ what I have. I have one in a 
YACC-parser form, and one in BNF form.

        Could anyone suggest a book or something wherefrom I can find how to 
read these descriptions? Maybe if I succeed, I will be able to describe 
Lojban in *English*, or at least understand it.

        My continuing anxiety is that my Lojban is utter kalsh. Though I did 
get a couple of pats on the head at Logfest, I am not going to be happy until 
I can use Lojban as easily as I can now use Esperanto (fluently, but not at 
the level I am with English).
