That is precisely my difficulties with Lojban. The grammar is easy as =F0,
but I'm still learning the actual vocab. I'll admit to being somewhat lazy
on the learning of it, but I'd say at this point I know ~1/4 of the gismu
and cmavo, a smattering of non-jvajvo lujvo, maybe a couple fu'ivla, and a
very few of the experimental words like zo'oi.
