It's a matter of perspective, basically. You can say that the ones whic= h delete places for reason of non-necessity are irregular, but if so they a= re still useful, or you can say they are different entirely, in which case = it's a moot point. In either case there's no real disagreement here= .

Absolutely none= of the gismu I am referring to are like that. I'd have to actually loo= k to find out, but there are for example, the familial gismu, of which all = are "x1 is [famillial relationship] to x2 by bond/tie x3" except = those which are missing the x2, and IIRC some of the measurement gismu do n= ot have a subunits place, some of the metric measurement gismu do not have = a by standard place, etc.

I'm not referring to, for example, the difference between {klama} a= nd {litru}, which are similar relationships, but to those gismu which are i= n the same category of relationship. ("Brother" and "Cousin&= quot; are not similar relationships but are of the same category (for my cu= rrent chosen meaning of similar), for example.)

I agree. There's actually a lot of gismu that I feel are missing a plac= e, most of which are specifically for reasons of regularity, i.e. all the o= ther gismu of the same class have place structure "x1 is broda of x2 i= n way x3", and this one is only "x1 is broda of x2".

Twice now, I've had to use {sekai} in order to get a sort of "comp= lete
srana" such that "srana =3D x1 pertains to x2 in aspect x3".=
I feel like this should be a part of the place structure of srana
proper. Adding a place to a gismu breaks no usage, as we all know, so
there is no fear of corrupting existing Lojban.

Does anyone agree?

p.s. I'm not really *proposing* that we effect this change *now*. But,<= br> I'm just saying that it would be really neat, if maybe when a bigger reworking of the language comes around, that we add this place, which
seems really srana to srana, if you know what I mean.

I'll also be adding this to the gismu issues page.
