I don't have the second text handy, but "blanu" means blue, "crino" means green, and "blari'o" is a compound of the two, meaning "blue-green". If the other text says it means blue it's mistaken. >I understand that in lojban there is only ONE gismu for one idea. It seems like there is some overlap between gismu. I don't think that's true of colors particularly, but some of the words for more abstract things, like jalge, rinka, etc. sometimes overlap in my opinion. >Is {blari'o} a non-official gismu?. {blari'o} is not a gismu but a "lujvo", i.e. a compound word, made up of "bla", short for "blanu", and "ri'o", short for "crino".
