All three English senses seem unlikely; Lojban borrowings are pretty rare, I should think. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:39, 5 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Luckily for us, Lojbaners are pretty much the only people still using usenet besides pirates:
Noun:
I don't think we are in disagreement about anything important here, but there was no malglico involved or suggested.
Lojban is NOT encoded English, and if one gets lazy, one will not be understood (or will be intentionally misunderstood by some people who are literal-minded and don't like malglico).
If you suppose non-English speakers to be readers of the phrasebook, these malglico may be great defects.
Adjective:
Talk of our discussion transpired into #lojban. The consensus is that using tadji is wrong or malglico:
And you still haven't told me what in the statement {.i.u'icai do ze'ipu tavla fo le glibau .i di'u pe do te bangu le glibau} you consider malglico.
"ka'e" was obviously taken from "kakne", yes, but the connection is kind of malglico. Similarly "pe'i" comes from "pensi", "ti'e" from "tirna", and thare are other mnemonics that go through malglico glosses.
Given that it will only ever be used by Lojbaners, it's hard to say whether it's really English, but it's used in English grammar in English ways. Smurrayinchester (talk) 10:21, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Those are from Google Groups, not Usenet. — Ungoliant (falai) 21:20, 6 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
