The Seraphim surely rejoiced when Logical Language Group spoke thus:

#Not sure I know what you mean by cross-indexing - multiple versions
#for tyhe same concept?  

Oh, just eliminating from the two jvoste you sent me all entries with identical 
definitions, and all those already in my list.

#Likewise "Lean Lujvo" since I haven't read your
#papers, though I can guess what you mean.  

Yeah. things like: I use to have all the places of {ckule} in {ckulypikta}
(diploma); now I just have the x1 of ckule.

A lot of the words (particularly le'avla, and some suspicious-looking
lujvo) are quite unfamiliar; I'm sure you've included mail private to you;
and I do need context to make sense of a fair few of them. I'm up to
"cmetcita" in the original jvoste; when I get around to adding the new
items, I'll upload all my mailing list entries, and query you about what
I cannot trace.

The change in meaning of {tarmi} is welcome, but certainly forced a lot of
changes. And I'm surprised with how malglico and unsystematic my lujvo-making
was back then: cibrau for tertiary (should be cibteryrau, if anything, and
even that's suss); bebysna for selcfipysna (gawk)... this weeding out has
been long overdue.
