Does anyone strongly object to discussing words on pages named simply the word itself? We have at least a few pages that already do that, such as: http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=balcukta http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=blanu http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=cmavo http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=najyzme http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=fraso http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=lojbo http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=malglico http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=selma'o http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=traji http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=zo'o Um ok now that I started looking I guess there are a LOT of pages that do that. I guess it turns out the answer to my question is that we've been doing it that way for years and years and I never noticed, sorry. The only problem I see with that system is that it could conflate discussing the meaning of the word with discussing the thing meant by the word, but I'm not sure that's even a bad thing-- using a word to discuss the thing it refers to is one useful way to demonstrate its meaning. mi'e .telselkik. mu'o -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
