Re: lemi malfri



Welcome back, Markezio! *hug* (Oops, I forgot I'm not on soc.bi :) Seriously,
we *have* missed you and your... rather special :) kind of Lojbanic origin-
ality. Keep it up, man; you're certainly a better writer than I ever am.

>pukucaki .i ca le pasobino nanca ku mi pamoi pilno la lysydys .i mi citka

I don't like {pamoi pilno}, but all the alternative phrasings would be
quite complex; let it be.

>ni'o lemi patfu to'ercliva le lanzu zdani
{cu to'ercliva}

>ni'o ko'a klama lemi kumfa noi mi denpa .ilu doi deiv tu'a ko rinka lenu se

Or if you don't like {tu'a}, {ko zukte lenu...}.

>ni'o cfari lemi lysydys xuksne

Ouch. le + Sumti (mi) + sumti (la lysydys) + selbri: not grammatical. Short
of a hyphenation from the baseline to be (lemi lysydys zei nunxuksne = The
me LSD-halluciantion), the best I can suggest is {le la lysydyl. nu mi
xuskne} --- note that le xuksne is not the trip, but the tripper, since
le senva is not the dream, but the dreamer.

>lemi ckana mu'i zgana le xuksne selviska
{mu'i lenu zgana}

The rest of the lujvo are good. We *really* must get you published in JL.
Mark, you've still got the corrected Cafe Cairo piece, yes?
