I'd go with: girzu, djine, tercei, xadni, foldi (tercei might be improved on, but that is the first lojban word I recall for "domain".) These words can never come into conflict with their ordinary meanings anyway. The only one that could be probelmatic is {girzu}, because other mathematical concepts might also want it. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old school buds here: http://click.egroups.com/1/5536/4/_/17627/_/963068390/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, send mail to lojban-unsubscribe@onelist.com
