You could use "kem" or "kep" to make jargon words or cadigans. Say you have a file format which has blocks and chunks; you could call them "kembli" and "grike'e" or the like. Or you can use words like "kemdza" and "borbo'ekepcomdai" for "whatchamacallit" and "doohickey". phma To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
