The reason why there aren't many close synonyms is that Lojban doesn't yet= =20 have an extensive vocabulary. Since the meaning of a lujvo is some=20 combination of the meanings of its components, close synonyms will usually = be=20 fu'ivla. > Anyway, if you could give me an example where a Lojban word is best defin= ed > with the aid of a synonym, that'd be extremely helpful to me. "prokiono", "arxokuna", and "lumge'u" are synonyms. If someone knows one an= d=20 encounters another, the best way to define it is to give the synonym he=20 already knows. Another pair is "la kot.divu=E1r" and "la xantyde'i xaskoi";= =20 this pair exists in many languages except, of course, French.
