In taxonomy, marjoram is a kind of oregano, but that probably just means that botanists got around to naming oregano first. Onion is a kind of garlic, according to taxonomy, but according to Germanic plant names, garlic is a kind of leek, and the same root that is "leek" in English means "onion" in Russian. In Lojban, garlic and onion are separate roots, leek (kamjysunga) is a kind of garlic, and chives (tu'ursluni) are a kind of onion. I see no reason why oregano can't be considered a kind of marjoram. phma -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa
