The main problem with e.g. computer terminology is that there should be one style while creating those terms. if e.g. "log in" is {co'a se jaspu} and "log out" {co'u pilno lo jaspu} then there is something wrong. jbovlaste will turn into a mess.

Whatever that is.

That is a list created by Lindar. = ;

If someone wants to fill gaps, then they will coin words for those gaps= =20
and add them to jbovlaste or some other repository of Lojban coinings.= =20
If they've done it well, then others are likely to use their coinings= =20
rather than making their own coinage.

jbovlaste is fine. The main problem wi= th e.g. computer terminology is that there should be one style while creati= ng those terms.
if e.g. "log in" is {co'a se jaspu} and "log out"= {co'u pilno lo jaspu} then there is something wrong.
jbovlaste w= ill turn into a mess.

It works.

If Lojban aspires to be a natural language (or to emulate one) it will= =20
have to accept the processes that act upon natural languages.  Ind= eed it=20
is impossible to prevent those processes.  (look how successful th= e=20

Russian now has a variety of words derived from "Pussy Riot", probably= =20
