I guess fuhivla are "new" to me, I don't remember anything about them from when I last was involved about a year-and-a-half or so ago. I see the point about extending them to cities. I agree that something fuhivla are needed, since I felt odd about countries and ethnics groups getting gismu. There are far more groups that are available in the gismu space, so if fuhivla fill this, then great. There are people who would identify with a particular street gang than any city, ethnic group, or nation, so why not let them have a "real" word for their identlity. ************************************************************************** * Bob Slaughter * Model Railroading * * InterNet: Haldane@Pine.Circa.Ufl.Edu * is Fun!! * * * * * Bitnet: Haldane@UFPine * ask me about lojban * **************************************************************************
