Indeed, I've noticed that most lujvo are made with meanings that are rather ad-hoc, and not really the type of thing that you would need to find in a word list or dictionary, or they are made of words like 'se', 'gasnu', 'claxu' etc., and their meaning and place structure is obvious and doesn't need to be entered into a list (or both). I kind of like the idea of the lujvo being an open-ended lexicon, rather than needing to be canonized in a dictionary. co'o mi'e adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a NextCard Visa, in 30 seconds! 1.
