I think probably the Right Thing to do is to come up with a list of
disambiguiting terms that we think are appropriate for an actual
dictionary.

Some suggestions, just stuff that has come up for me:

agentive
non-agentive
mathematical
computer science

I'd do more right now, but I have many other Lojban things I'm doing
tonight.  Other suggestions?
