Some times ago the question of whether {cidja} implies solid food only 
or includes beverages as well has been raised on IRC.

Let's look at {cidja}'s definition:

* "x1 is food/feed/nutriment for x2; x1 is edible/gives nutrition to x2"

According to this definition, it seems perfectly sensible to create a 
lujvo {likydja} (litki cidja) for drink/beverage, as those are also a 
source of nutrition (which seems to be the underlying concept of {cidja}).
{ligdja} (sligu cidja) could be used for solid food specifically.

gismu are intended to have broad meanings, and we don't have any brivla 
for "beverage".

What's your opinion on that matter? Would you agree that a beverage is a 
{cidja}?

Thank you in advance.
