At any rate - can the community - in a good hurry - come up with some good lujvo for "underwear", and for the common individual items that comprise same (at least the children's varieties). There has been considered such usages as "inside-clothes" (as better than "below clothes", since theunderclothes are no closer to the nadir than any other clothes), "skin-clothes", "covered (se gacri) clothes". Any other suggestions? Any preferences? These are common words, and the question has come up many times before, so we oughta be able to come up with an answer that stretches beyond poor lojbab's feeble imagination and limited Lojban dialect. But please hurry, while my kids still think their dad is the world's expert on everything, especially Lojban %^) lojbab
