Subject: rafsi tuneup in progress
Content-Length: 1188
Lines: 22

I have started doing the retuning of the rafsi set, after absorbing all data
that I have on actual uses of words in lujvo.  This retuning is, of course,
preparatory for the proto-dictionary, and the first baseline of the rafsi
list (we haven't changed much, but we explicitly never baselined it).

My intention is to  post the results of the tuning (i.e. changes that seem
good, plausible, questionable, and impossible-due-to-history) for discussion,
with formal baselining taking place as of August LogFest.

THus far, there have not been many changes at all, and the ones tyat seem
most likely are truly noise level.  There are a couple worth some discussion,
and one that probably is ruled out by excessive historical usage of the
current rafsi assignment.  I hope to have results on the List this week.

I'm hopefully shipping Mark the working gismu list for posting to PLS on
Manday or Tuesday.  I've got more work to do, but the set of changes
already identified has finally been completed.  I will need comments
if possible by LogFest (August 15), or as soon as possible thereafter
(since Mark and Ivan may be away for much of the time till then, I'll do
my best to be flexible.)
