I remember having a big discussion with someone about this on the MUSH. He
was fond of saying "SoHvaD chu' nuq?" as a greeting, and I was a little
unsure about how much I liked it. I think I tend to use the construction
myself, but that doesn't mean I am thinking enough about it or that I
should. The difference here is that "-vaD" is being used to mean "as
experienced by...", (Lojban "ga'a") which is something of a stretch, I
think.
