Is gismu space as full as cmavo space? I notice that the gismu list is very old. Certainly there have been suggestions about this. What is most annoying is that certain very specific gismu, like cinfo (lion) exist. By themselves, they are fine. However, the lack of needed words in science, math, and technology makes it a shame. Maybe it's the transhumanist in me speaking. I would hope that gismu (and cmavo) would reflect a move towards science and technology. We should not have idiocy like Christianity elevated to gismu. Maybe make is a fu'ivla "irrational suiciders" or something. .gy. .u'inai co'o fe'o To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
