Barreto" Subject: The gismu creation algorithm X-To: lojban@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu To: Veijo Vilva Content-Length: 462 Lines: 12 The scoring criterion used by the gismu creation algorithm checks for matches between proposed gismu and words of the source languages considering only letters *in the same order*. However, I frequently feel as if letter order was not really considered in that process. In fact, by rearranging letters one gets longer matches. Is it just a coincidence, or perhaps a bug in the program? :-) co'o mi'e paulos. Paulo S.L.M. Barreto. e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
