"ou" is not a valid diphthong, meaning it's split into syllables: .deivyd.slo,ud. Given this, of course, .deivyd.slod. probably would have been a better Lojbanization. --Warrigal "David slowed his pace slightly as his ears, protruding as they were, kept snagging on the foliage." _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
