Thank you to those who responded to my request for closed alpha testers. The first responder actually found a hole that is now almost fixed, so the actual alpha testing will start soon. As part of the corrections being made for that, I'm looking for a noun meaning "An opportunity to meet, caused by a happy coincidence of location." The word in question should be able to be used like-for-like as the word "meeting" is used, except the meaning should be "the opportunity to meet". I'm not averse to neologisms, and I would be delighted to find a short lojban word to carry this meaning. Anything to get lojban words into "ordinary" vocabulary, and hence perhaps to raise lojban's profile. Suggestions? In particular, what lojban word would you use for "opportunity"? Thx.
