However, it does not have a lot of specialist jargon. English has hundreds of thousands of vocabulary words just in its main dictionaries alone, with about 25,000 words added each year. This is not counting specialist jargon, which is often a language unto itself in each field. Most other languages for their jargon simply speak the English jargon word or an adaptation of it. Lojban is like this as well. What you need to use is a borrowing, called a fu'ivla. Look up "fu'ivla" in the language materials and it will teach you how to integrate a word from other languages. -Eppcott On Dec 22, 2007 7:23 PM, Robin Lee Powell wrote: > Here's the actual text: > > Geometrical terms: > > geometry > > circumcenter > > angle bisector > > incenter > > perpendicular > > radius > > equilateral > > equiangular > > parallelogram > > > > -Robin > > > On Sun, Dec 23, 2007 at 12:33:22AM +0100, Arnt Richard Johansen wrote: > > Can someone please send a reply to this?
