#As Iain says, that's "prami" not "pajni".  I admit that it may not be the
#best metaphor, and pc (who is one) has a different metaphor buried in TL
#somewhere, but TL isn't easy to search, so I calqued the Greek version,
#which probably doesn't really apply to la tcuan,dz. anyhow.

'Philosophy' is so slippery a concept, and has had its meaning vary so through
the ages, that I suspect the most sensible translation is {tadnrfilosofo};
but if we must have a lujvo, this obviously is too metaphorical to work, and
I's suggest {junske}, knowledge-science. (It's as good as any.)
