I know how to say everything but "class", and I can't think o= f a very
efficient way to even get that into "Lojbanic English", much less= into
Lojban itself.

In general, I'm also curious about where I might go to get ideas about<= br> vocab that can't be attained straight from a gismu list. This is
probably a much more difficult example, but it popped up today as
well: "trippy." I again have no idea even where to start with
translating that concept.
