As I understand things, "la beidjin" (for example) refers to something
named by the form "beidjin" (where the namer is the speaker). It would
seem to me that if we want a word for (in this case) the capital of
the Republic of China, we want something that instead means "x such
that x is Beijing", *NOT* "x such that I am calling x 'beidjin'". If
this is right, then Lojban Central should be seeking fuhivla, not
cmene, for the various states of the USA, etc.
