Because that's entirely orthogonal. The point here is that "noljedai" was made up for my RPG campaign, and no-one should ever think that it's OK to randomly use that for "Jedi" unless they're playing with me. Hence, either I don't put it in jbovlaste or if I do, it needs to make it clear that that's a special word. I think jbovlaste should be used for any words Lojbanists actually use, but that doesn't mean all of them are equally general-use. Can you explain why you don't like this idea? -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
