Lars Henrik Mathiesen scripsit:> So perhaps we'll see "rie" formed for a kernel of rice.Ambrose Bierce tells us that the singular of "dice" is "die", but that the word is rarely heard, due to the prohibitory proverb "Never say 'die'". He then adds: A cube of cheese no larger than a die May bait a trap to catch a nibbling mie. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
