History: English-ish rafsi
View page
Source of version: 1
(current)
I recently finished learning the ((rafsi)). I had the impression, while I was learning, that if the ''rafsi'' could match an English word for the ''selrafsi'', then it did. What an insidious bias! Examples: cliva liv leave farlu fal fall fonmo fom foam fonxa fon phone jbama bam bomb mamta mam mom notci not note But when I checked more carefully, I found just as many words which didn't follow that pattern. Probably it is only a coincidence caused by the way the ((gismu)) are constructed. Here are examples, with non-rafsi marked "*": dirba dib *dir dear mluni lun *mun moon patxu pax *pat pot penbi peb *pen pen plipe pip pi'e *lip leap simlu mlu *sim seem xlura xlu *lur lure The lists are not complete. Remember, the world does not contain enough useless information! ''mi'e ((jezrax))''
