I would assume that the most common plants should be assigned the shortest lujvo and more exotic ones longer (3-gismu etc) ones. > I think porridge should be called pesxu, or some lujvo thereof. > What I meant was Russian "kasha" which sometimes can mean the same as English paste-like "porridge" but in case of "grechnevaya kasha" (at least, cooked in Russian way) certainly is not a paste. In "grechnevaya kasha" each grain is preserved intact being just softened by boiling. That is why I chose the word {grudja} for "kasha". > If someone said "xruba" and meant some particular kind, but didn't specify > which, I'd think rhubarb, not buckwheat.

What do the other source words mean? > The Russian etymology is {gricix} = "grechikha" for buckwheat (literally, "Greek grain"). co'o mi'e .evgenis. ------------------------ Yahoo!
