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

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

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

Were Mandari= n predicates taken into consideration while constructing gismu definitions?=
