Every Lojbanist understands that gismu denote predicates that are highly=20
practical.
e.g. {pilno} includes a goal as pilno3. Indeed, how can we imagine using=20
something without a goal?

My question is who collected those definitions? Was it JCB? How was this=20
gimste formed? Is there a changelog of modifications to gismu definitions=
=20
starting from the first edition of loglan?

My particular interest here is with the recent discussion of a possible new=
=20
gismu meaning "qua". The corresponding word is of high frequency in=20
Mandarin but in European languages it is often confused with words meaning=
=20
{simsa}.
e.g.
"as" means both "like" and "qua".
Russian "=D0=BA=D0=B0=D0=BA" [kak] means both "like" and "qua".

Were Mandarin predicates taken into consideration while constructing gismu=
=20
definitions?
