They now read as I think they should: "wooden cane", "wooden > pole", "wooden staff", "wooden stick". I've changed the x2 keyword to "wood > source; tree(s)". Is that alright? The glosses are good, but I still don't see why the word needs an x2 keyword. > Your point is taken on *UUTC*.

The bigger question, for me, is whether it's right to > put monosyllabic cmevla in all caps. It looks very odd, but I presume that > most speakers stress these words when they say them aloud. What do you > think? I think it's unnecessary to mark stress on monosyllables. (I also prefer the accent mark to capitalization, but that's another question.) In Colombia I saw "la app". I agree that it's feminine, but I'm not sure whether it's "el app". In Spanish there's a rule, which arose centuries ago when the article was changing from "ela" to "la", that if the next word starts with stressed /a/, the feminine article is "el", e.g. "el agua". "App", of course, is a recent borrowing, but "haz", a variant of "faz", is another monosyllabic feminine noun beginning with /a/. I'm pretty sure (but not totally) that "haz" arose long after "ela agua" became "el agua". A word ending in "p" or "z" (as opposed to one ending in "n" or "s") is, by default, stressed on the last syllable, so "haz" and "app" are stressed but "ron" is not, but that's an orthographic rule made up by the RAE. So I think the "el/la app" question is up to the RAE. Another question about stress in cmevla is what to do in a polysyllabic one which has no stress. By default, stress is on the next-to-last syllable, ignoring syllabic consonants and skipping syllables whose only vowel is "y". But some languages have no stress, or have other things, such as tone. > Also, what do you think of my most recent lujvo entries? Again, I'm not as > worried about the cmevla, unnecessary as some of them may be. They look much improved. I still think that it's unnecessary to put a keyword for every place. For "darkling beetle" I'm thinking "mancakcinki". The common and scientific names ("tenebrae" means "darkness") refer to the beetles' habit of dwelling in dark places. I think "kalcycinki" should be "kalcycakcinki" if it refers just to dung beetles. There are other insects that eat dung, such as some flies. Can anyone explain why the definition of "cinki" says "insect/arthropod"? Maybe it's because "lokra" hadn't been invented yet, maybe it's to allow for Linnaeus's original Insecta which included all arthropods. Normally in lujvo, "cinki" should be restricted to hexapods, "jukni" to chelicerates, and "lokra" to crustaceans; as to centipedes and millipedes, vlanuncau. (I didn't invent "lokra"; I just entered it.) Pierre -- gau do li'i co'e kei do -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
