Please do. --''mi'e .filip.'' ---- ''There's also the things which might be termed "gimsu" - they are the same except with a medial consonant pair reversed. Consider sodva/sovda. That confuses me every time.'' *ratcu ractu - cfipu sai mu'i lenu roreri mabru Here's a table of gismu pairs with swapped consonants: |bajra|barja |balni|banli |berti|betri |canti|catni |cedra|cerda |danti|datni |darsi|dasri |festi|fetsi |ganra|garna |janta|jatna |kabri|karbi |kalri|karli |kufra|kurfa |nanvi|navni |pulni|punli |racli|ralci |ractu|ratcu |ranti|ratni |rilti|ritli |rinsa|risna |sacki|sakci |sodva|sovda |stali|tsali |stani|tsani |tabno|tanbo |tinsa|tisna *and ''xrula'', ''xlura'' ** the bugger with this one is that you think 'flora' and that yields a falsefriend with ''xlura''. --((And)) ** you mean ''((xruli))''? --((tsali)) *** I doubt it, since that word's not in my gismu list, but ''xrula'' is ("flower"). mi'e filip. Here's a table of gismu pairs with a consonant swapped with the neighboring vowel: |bartu|bratu |bruna|burna |cikre|ckire |cinta|cnita |citno|ctino |garna|grana |gerku|greku |jbini|jibni |kruji|kurji |marji|mraji |pelji|pleji |sakci|skaci |samcu|smacu |sarji|sraji |stura|sutra |tarti|trati |tirna|trina |tisna|tsina ---- (Some of us (me anyway) have been wondering about punning in Lojban, & these last two types seem extremely promising...anybody want to write some jokes?) One that's come up so far is ''ko ko kruji'' "turn yourself into cream" as a pun on ''ko ko kurji'' "take care of yourself" -- turning a popular(?) expression of goodwill into an insult or a threat. mi'e filip.
