But then they always go on to say that never, never, never, never ever even think of creating additional gismu. So here's a question to you all: given that we should NEVER even consider creating new gismu, well, then why don't we allow fu'ivla to have CVCCV or CCVCV form? -- Daniel Brockman daniel@brockman.se 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.
