I just re-read parts of the Book and found the chapter on the standard methods
of defining the place structure for a lujvo, which I had skimmed over the first
time. I didn't even realize there were standard methods. So, so that I don't
needlessly increase the number of undefined lujvo there are, here are the place
structures for all the lujvo I've used in my translation of GNOME 1.4 (which is
17% done).

(After taking a good look at the place structures of some words, I
decided to change which lujvo to use. The ones I changed or which are new since
I last brought the words up for discussion have an asterisk.)
