I do favor the use of short= general lujvo when indeed there are likely=20

that applies here.  There are rather limited numbers of dome struct= ures,=20
fewer still whose frame-structure is an important part of the concept.=20
Of those, only geodesic domes are a sufficiently coherent concept that=20
we would plausibly consider a single word for that concept.  For th= e=20
other sorts of domes I mentioned, I would likely include a hint at their= =20
function in a lujvo, because its dome-nature stems from that function.


One could just use a tanru, consisting of a word for 'geodesic' and a wo= rd for 'dome'.  There doesn't need to be a lujvo for it, at least not r= ight away.
