Ignoring the synonym, we have four Lojban words and three English words. So we could set the glosses to: xruba -> rhubarb, sorrel, buckwheat stanyxruba -> rhubarb pezyxruba -> sorrel xrixruba -> buckwheat Depending on the votes, one of the Lojban words will not appear in the English-Lojban part. Adding "Polygonaceae" as a gloss doesn't solve this, because most English speakers (at least the ones I know) don't know the word and don't even know that these plants are in the same family. (I didn't until I learned the word {xruba}, and I know more taxonomy than most people.) phma -- .i le babzba ba zbasu lo jbazbabu lo babjba
