A "relex" is what people on this list usually call what lojbab has been
referring to as a "code", namely a creation in which the words, or maybe
the morphemes, of a source language (usually the creator's own) are
given a new sound representation, without the structure of the language
being changed in any other important way.

So you have a vocabulary like this:

   be:                 zif
   have:               mompot
   home:               olomoc
   not:                cashc
   (past particple):   -zhor
   yet:                altarb
   you:                tubac

And then you have sentences like:

   Mompot cashc tubac zif-zhor olomoc altarb?
   Have   n't   you     been   home   yet?

But most people don't stick with doing this for long, because it's so
boring.
