I think he is referring specifically to the "clue words", which in the gismu list are found in the field immediately following the "keyword" that LogFlash tests you on. The clue words were not designed to be easily typed into LogFlash as they appear in the list - some are roots and partial forms of words. The keywords were selected so as to be unique, maximally suggestive of meaning, and easy to type (i.e. short). I could be wrong, but it is likely that some cluewords are keywords for another LogFlash word, which means that multiple choices of words encourages cross-links. lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org
