Is this the original citation of the Lojban, or are you repeating yourself
:-)? I wrote my msg. a couple days ago; have been reading comments on the
"brothers" phrase ever since, but I'm only receiving your msg. at 4.52 pm
5/23. Molto strano.
Adam's presumed typo "her" struck my funny-bone, since, as you may/may not
know, that usage IINM is quite ancient gay slang, and I haven't heard it
since about the early 60s, and then always from older types. "Oh, _her_
wants to be a dress-designer" etc. etc.
