To Jorge LLambias respond I thus:

#I think you need more glue to hold that monster together.

Actually, I think you don't --- and I think that's a big problem with the
morphology algorithm; we expect ourselves to supply that glue. I have
proposed making the glue requirements the same for all syllables, rather
than them being dispensed with after the second, but Lojbab was against it.

Would people be happy with {krasi} and {fanmo} for "to" and "from" in lujvo?
bargu'ekrabe'i. Hm...

#Of course, it would be nicer if {platu} was non-agentive.

It used to be...

#> selkri stodi tarti
#That's more like credulous. Maybe
#pa'ercumkri (nu prane cumki krici)

pa'ercumkri is what a realist would call an idealist, at least... but my
one isn't at all credulous. belief constant behaver? credulous is frili krici

#Why not?

Well, because it's not that descriptive. bandygunta, perhaps.

#or {janco nenri}

I don't think so. I think it'd be dangerous to conflate inside and underside
in Lojban. Doesn't nenri imply se sruri?

#> #candidacy               (S) candidatura
#> ka selcuxydji (weak, I know)
#{tercuxcmi} (te cuxna cnima) for candidate?

Yes, I like that. Very general term, but it would do in context...

#> #estuary                 (G) Fo:rde      (S) ria
#> rirxe fanmo (rirxe moklu has been used)
#{rirxe ganxo} seems more appropriate.

Ah yes, I'd conveniently forgotten that one...

#> senva tarti, then
#Then Lojban doesn't distinguish, like Esperanto (and French) between
#"revi" and "songxi"?

Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" has been consistently translated by
Lojbanists as {mi pacna}. In fact, anyone remember my translation of that
speech? I posted it here a while back.

#> #urgency                 (G) Eile        (S) urgencia

#cabna sarcu

ka clira kei sarcu, it should be, and I'm not sure about cabna sarcu: it
leaves open too many interpretations.
