Our prices reflect actual costs; we are a non-profit organization. All prices are recommended contributions to voluntary balances; we may refuse orders from non-contributors if we are short of funds (which we are). We place priority on supporting non-U.S Lojbanists who keep in touch with us, even if they are non-contributing. We will notify you if we cannot fill your order.
(Remember 20% discount on large prepaid orders applies):
Note that nearly all of this material is available for download. Package 2 is obsolete with the publication of the Reference Grammar book. The other packages will be replaced by book publications as they become available.
gismu are the Lojban root words. rafsi are the combining forms of the Lojban gismu roots. cmavo are the words that govern the grammatical structure of a Lojban sentence. Attitudinals are cmavo that indicate the speaker's emotional and discursive attitudes toward what is being said.
You need a method to learn the vocabulary. We recommend using one of the LogFlash programs if you have an appropriate computer. See the listings below for computer-oriented Lojbanists. Otherwise, we recommend using the flash cards. Note that the flash cards date to the first baseline and are outdated as to place structures and rafsi. As such, we have reduced the price by $5 per set.
Back Issues of ju'i lobypli (JL) and le lojbo karni (LK) are available at 10 cents/page; JL17 and later issues will have a flat price of $9.00 until 1 year after the cover date. Former JL inserts now in packages are not sent with their original JL.
;UL1 (44p), UL2 (38p), HL3 (68p), JL4 (40p), JL5 (54p):
