(I seem to be doing this a lot lately; see what writing in Lojban
does to you?)

There are non-agentive (i.e. mathematical) gismu for plus (sumji) and
multiply (pilji), but not for minus or divide, that I can find.

IIRC there are agentive versions of all four.

Is there any paritcular reason for this, or is it just more upside
down gismu syndrome?
