Serdyukov" Subject: railgun X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=209292576 X-Yahoo-Profile: deletesoftware X-Yahoo-Message-Num: 24374 Just wondering (nowhere to write, nothing here to call). Is there a word for railgun yet? Not mentioning the ones in games, but the real thing. As there's already a word for "gun" - {seldanti}, it could be {garyseldanti} - "rail gun". But as the thing is not really a weapon, and the word is long, it is better to call it {garnace'a} - "rail launcher". It is fast enough (can't be made slow, AFAIR, it will brake if so) to be called launcher... Still you can't then say "launcher of rails"?! Or does {cecla} work for things those are not launching at the moment? As full, railgun is an elecromagnetic mass accelerator. It could be too long a lujvo for it. :)
