There are exactly 6 gismu in the current list whose definition includes the 
word "ethos":

budjo [ buj bu'o ] Buddhist
    x1 pertains to the Buddhist culture/religion/ethos in aspect x2 
    (cf. latna, lijda)

dadjo [ daj ] Taoist
    x1 pertains to the Taoist culture/ethos/religion in aspect x2 
    (cf. lijda, jegvo)

gugde [ gug gu'e ] country
    x1 is the country of peoples x2 with land/territory x3; (people/territory 
relationship) 
    [also sovereignty, domestic (as opposed to foreign), nation (when not 
referring to ethos)]; (cf. turni, natmi, jecta, tumla, tutra, lanci)

kulnu [ klu ] culture
    x1 [mass of ideas, customs, skills, arts] is culture of nation/ethos x2 
(mass); x1 is ethnic 
    [(note that x2 is NOT individual; culture is what is shared among people 
and is not an individual trait)]; (cf. cmavo list ka'u, cmavo list ku'u, natmi,
cecmu)

slovo [ lov lo'o ] Slavic
    x1 reflects Slavic language/culture/ethos in aspect x2 
    (cf. softo, rusko, vukro)


I suspect that in the definitions of {gugde}, {kulnu} and {slovo} 
the word "ethos" should be changed to "ethnos".

According to WordNet:

ethos n : the distinctive spirit of a people or an era; "the Greek ethos" 

ethnos n : people of the same race or nationality who share a distinctive 
culture [syn: {ethnic group}]
