Dictionaries

• The Lojban dictionary project, jbovlaste, is now in full swing. There are complete or near-complete dictionaries for Spanish, Esperanto, and English, and the Lojban-in-Lojban dictionary is progressing rapidly.
• If you have a dict client, you can set it to www.lojban.org, port 2628. Dict clients allow you to quickly look up the definition of a word. For Linux, try kdict or gdict (usually installed by default). For windows, have a look at http://www.dict.org/links.html.
• http://developer.berlios.de/projects/sutfak/ Quick reference dictionary software.
• you can also seach the word lists using a text editor(this is what I do on my pocket pc, mi'e timt'elis.).
