Ni...Well, "scabbard" and "ragamuffin" were Moser's. Nice words, though. Obscure, but not too obscure. Those words don't exist in Lojban yet, so I had to come up with, er, analogous words in Lojban. So <I>"sludemcro"</I> -- "muscle cramp" -- and <I>"ginfu'izmase"</I> -- "DNA polymerase". No one knows these words. Dug 'em out of the dictionary.<BR/><BR/>As far as odd Chinese words go, there's "籲", which apparently means "invoke". Dug that out of the dictionary too.komfo,amonanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392368772406076273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12152995.post-1162774436026077702006-11-05T19:53:00.000-05:002006-11-05T19:53:00.000-05:00i love this. not only is it fascinating, but you c...i love this. not only is it fascinating, but you correctly use "comprise" and you know where "only" goes in a sentence. then there's the random appearance of "scabbard" and "ragamuffin." and the charming fact that this is the shit you fight about with a pal when you're drunk.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975104475719836561noreply@blogger.com
