Nice piece, I like the observatives, and the new lujvo.

> .i mi dzukla le jbustu gi'e ctacarna
"jbustu" - I guess I understand, but I don't find it obvious. xu? zo jbustu cu
sinxa le pagbu be le dinju be'o poi stizu lo jubme

> .i rancindu jubme
loi rancindu ki'a (Don't understand "soft oak")

> .i vrici slada'i noi mi na djuno zo'e ke'a
.i da slada'i gi'e na te djuno vau ki'a
Is this supposed to be "familiar things that I couldn't quite recognise"?

> .i patxu loi ckafi lei mudri
Why "lei mudri"

> .i mi visfacki fi pa lo poi loi remna na zutlamji ke'a ku'o jubme

Preposed relatives!  i'ecai  Go, Veijo!

Missing "cu" pe'i

Some time I must dig out the speech that a friend of mine delivered at a
SF convention a few years back - it was called The Black Wine of Thentis,
and it was about the role of coffee in Science Fiction - specifically the
way that, presumably because most SF writers mainline on the stuff, they
would go to such lengths to provide it for their characters in the most
out-of-the-way places, and wrote about it in terms that they clearly
expected the reader to go into paroxysms of sensual delight at the mention of
ckafypanci.
