Hello, all,

I'm still a rank beginner at Lojban, but I noticed some lexical gaps and 
got to work filling them today. I've written twenty definitions 
<http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/personal/Xabju?extra=defs> on Jbovlaste so 
far, but they're generally far from perfect. I'm wondering if any of you 
could look them over and help me revise them. I will defer to the experts.

In particular, I'm concerned I haven't gotten the place structures right. 
At the superficial level, I haven't been sure when to use simple variables 
like "x1", "x2", etc., and when to use compound ones like "m2=z3", etc. 
(Actually, I don't quite have the vocabulary to say what the problems are. 
What do you call an "x1" thingy? A variable? A place abbreviation? A slot 
name?) The instructions on the site were not so clear to me. I'm also not 
sure I've gotten the underlying semantics and syntax right for a few.

Thanks in advance!

mi'e la xabju
