I've had the idea, for a few years, that these branches of Indo-European=20
should be named in Lojban for the word for five, as the major split of Indo=
-
European is named for the word for hundred. So I was thinking:
P-Celtic =3D pemp (Breton)
Q-Celtic =3D koik (Old Irish c=C3=B3ic)
P-Italic =3D pomp (Oscan pompe)
Q-Italic =3D kuink (Latin quinque).
The no-CGV rule forbids "kuink", but that can be replaced with "kink" (from=
=20
Proto-Romance cinque). However, that still leaves three words ending in two=
=20
consonants, the second of which is not syllablic. A syllable can't end in t=
wo=20
consonants unless it consists of exactly two consonants, the second of whic=
h=20
is syllabic. Suggestions?

What reminded me of this is a road construction sign saying "BUMP". In Wels=
h=20
this is a mutated form of the word for five. :) If I see three of these sig=
ns,=20
I say "bymtheg".
