I share other posters' disappointment at the inavailability of Laadan.

The key difference here is that one doesn't *have* to buy the Lojban grammar
book. One can read it online. Also, while copyright happens automatically
upon publication of any written document, the Lojban grammar specifically
contains the sentence:
"Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this book."
I wish Suzette Haden Elgin had done the same. I think it would have furthered
her goals.

Where can the lexicon be found? I've searched for it in the past without
success.
