  • .aulun.:
    • There's words for citno (young) & cnino (new), but you have to say:
      • tolcitno (opposite-of-young) instead of 'old'. Some prefer claranji.
      • 'long-continuing' or clare'i ('long-surviving').
    • This "upsidedown syndrome" was one of the Lojban features I first ran into, calling it "counter world". This seems really strange with regard to this language's pretension! May I suggest to call Lojban "Heyoka" instead ;-)
  • Other instances:
