Long rafsi for {manfo}. > In any case, what I don't understand is why the gloss in jbovlaste for > {kurfa} is both 'square' and 'four sided shape'. How can it be 'square'? The square is the archetypical kurfa. Similarly, the cow is the archetypical bakni, but there are bakni that are not cows. > For that matter what does vote information 100000 mean? It means that if you want some other definition to be preferred over that one, you need to collect 100001 votes. It appears that official definitions are given a handicap of 100000 votes. Seems a little excessive, but then I'm not very officially-minded. :) mu'o mi'e xorxes
