In the gismu list is the following word:

kliru   chlorine        x1 is a quantity of/contains/is made of halogen
(fluorine/iodine/bromine), esp. chlorine

How does one go about specifying which halogen in particular is meant.
This seems to be very ambiguous.  Wouldn't it have been better to have a
sumti position for which row of the periodic table was meant by the
speaker?
