Hi,

I've found a text in "The Coming of the Ship" which is missing the translation to Lojban:

"And he heard their voices calling his name, and shouting from the field to field telling one another of the coming of the ship." is translated as ".ije ko'a tirna nu leiko'e voksa cu krixa"

Can anyone help me on translating the missing part? I did my try, but it isn't worth to be presented here...

Thanks in advance,

Alvaro

{.ije ko'a tirna lo voksa be ko'e noi krixa cusku lo cmene be ko'a mo'ito'o lo foldi mo'ifa'a lo drata foldi zi'e noi simxu co jungau fi lo nu se klamu'o lo bloti}

is my attempt. The spatial tense might be weird; I'm no expert on them, not to mention that it simply may not be smudra. 
Also, the {noi} attaching to {ko'e} is intentional, as voices cannot cusku as they are ve cusku. However, a se voksa can be a cusku. The usage in English is metaphorical, I'd say.

Thank you very much, selpa'i and tsani,

It will take me at least one hour to understand your proposals and decide which is better... tsani's proposal seems very beneficial for my learning of Lojban.

  I know the message is a good six weeks old, but I was busy reading la snime blabi.  Anyway, here is my take on the sentence:

.ije ko'a tirna lo voksa be ko'e noi krixa cusku lo cmene be ko'a gi'e simxu benji lo se du'u lo bloti cu klama kei lo foldi lo bi'u foldi lo nu krixa
