Like this:
zgana - 'sudden viska'
catlu - 'intentional viska'
viska - 'see'
So catlu & zgana crossed out and everything still may be= expressed; and this isn't the only case where a whole kit of root-words&nb= sp;describing nearly the same meaning exists.
Having an extra gismu= for versions of a word seems pointless to me.
