The blackberry (which is not a berry but an aggregate of drupelets) is a brambleberry, as is the raspberry (another type-3 in English - it has nothing to do with rasps, and is apparently derived from a word "raspis"). All brambleberries are frambesi in Lojban (the word is from the same origin as "bramble"), so again we have some distinctions to figure out. We could say {xunre frambesi} and {xekri frambesi}, but there are black raspberries, so maybe we have to call them {xekri frambesi be la xunre}. phma -- .i toljundi do .ibabo mi'afra tu'a do .ibabo damba do .ibabo do jinga .icu'u la ma'atman. ------------------------ Yahoo!
