I think it's a good way to make up words, use them in context, and put them in a fairly permanent and easily accessible storage. Words in jbovlaste are in the same kind of storage, but jbovlaste records are just definitions. For instance, I just made up the word {jicyjutsi'o}, added it to jbovlaste, and used it in [[finpe]] on Wikipedia. Hopefully someone will write an article on it, which will explain it better than the definition. (I'm not a cladist, so I'm probably not the one to write the article.) phma -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa
