a quick question, i realized the other day its
difficult to say "birthday".
There is no gismu for "birth", although there is gutra
for womb, which has
the note, "metaphorically for nourishing, birth, etc",
but i feel sorta
clueless as to how one would use gutra as a basis for
"birth".  And, even
beyond, "birthday", which really means something more
like, "anniversary of
birth"...

slightly puzzled over this, someone care to enlighten
me?  Thanks!

jbena     jbe      born                 'bear'
             x1 is born to x2 at time x3 and place x4;
x1 is native to (fo) x4

detri det          date
                                    x1 is the date
(day,{week},{month},year) of event/state x2, at
location x3, by calendar x4

salci     sla      celebrate
                               x1 celebrates x2 with
activity/(party) x3

So: jbedetsla - birth-date-celebration

There might be something slightly better with
citsi (season) or krefu (recur)
