Editing EsperantoPiecepackGlossary

= Esperanto Piecepack Glossary / Pecopaka Vortaro = OK, this is a bit of a lark. I decided to take the terms from the [https://web.archive.org/web/2016/http://www.piecepack.org/Glossary.html Piecepack Glossary] at [https://web.archive.org/web/2016/http://www.piecepack.org/ Piecepack.org] and translate them into [http://www.esperanto.net/ Esperanto]. Why would I do this? First, it was easy. Also, besides enjoying both the piecepack and Esperanto, it seems to me that they share a certain aesthetic. Both are meant in some sense to be universal, and both build complex things up from smaller things (Esperanto's //agglutinative// grammar is similar in many ways to the fact that the piecepack is //a pack of pieces//). Finally, neither Esperanto nor the piecepack is as well known as it deserves. Here, then, is the glossary. I'm missing a few terms that I hope fellow piecepackers who also speak Esperanto (yeah, right!) can help me with. I have provided an approximate pronunciation for English speakers, as well as an alternate translation, in some cases, into the simpler [http://donh.best.vwh.net/Esperanto/Literaturo/Recenzoj/la_bona_lingvo.html bona lingvo] style advocated by Claude Piron. Note also that I am using "Internet spelling" for the Esperanto: an 'x' after a letter indicates a circumflex on top (example: 'cx' means a 'c' with a circumflex) or a breve in the case of a 'ux'. --RonHaleEvans **Update:** I thought that certainly I (and to some extent my wife ["Marty Hale-Evans"]) could be the only piecepackers who spoke Esperanto, which is why I described this page as "silly" and "a bit of a lark". But eleven minutes after I completed this page and posted a notice about it to the piecepack mailing list, I received an email from ["Allan Bailey"] filling in a couple of the gaps in the glossary ("face-up" and "face-down"). Maybe the commingling of the piecepack and Esperanto isn't so silly after all. Hmm... --RonHaleEvans ---- ace:: //aso// (AH-soh) arms:: //armiloj// (ar-MIH-loy) coin:: //monero// (moh-NEH-roh; lit.
