You are right, I didn=E2=80=99t think of that. On the other hand, I feel a
kind of psychological resistance against a lujvo which *looks* like it
said 'spoon-type of fork' (or vice versa). The fun about sporks is
that they are *both* (or at least that is my pretension). Hm=E2=80=A6

)

Yeah. But there seem to be precedents, or at least one:
http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/sorpeka How accepted that is, I don'=C5=A7
know. It took me a little getting used to, but I think it is a nice
idea, frankly. I recall someone arguing in favour of calling those (or
all fu'ivla?) 'zi'evla' rather than 'fu'ivla'.

>What about borrowing it as a cmevla? {.spork.}
Possible, but a bit clumsy, isn't it? Also, why 'spork' (and not
'gefl' or whatever)?

Cordially,
iesk
