Robin,

It's not a word in Lojban for the English word "stub." It's a word in
Lojban for what the object is. That which is referred to in Wikipedia
as a "stub" is something that blocks a hole or a breach in Wikipedia.
It's a stop-gap measure.

It's true that Yanis' nonce lujvo does not mean "something cut short
or arrested in development", but "stop-gap" is another word which
could be accurate for what the object is.

Is it better to call it "something cut short or arrested in
development" or "stop-gap"? One is the form and the other is the
function.
