"Translation", by the lisp program I posted in December: (PRENTISS) (RIDDLE) ask_presVerb: whatQuantity esperanto_occupation_plNounObj need_presVerb one for inscrew_infVerb loin(ulb)_nounObj? I answer_presVerb: esperanto_occupation_plNoun no inscrew_presVerb loin(ulb)_plNounObj for illuminate_infVerb the world_noun, they teach_presVerb esperanto_nounObj! Of course, "loin(ulb)_nounObj" should be "shine_bulb_nounObj", but the program goes for the longest match it can get (lumb = loin).... -Neal McBurnett, ihnp4!druny!neal
