While having antonyms ({citno} =3D {to'e laldo} etc.) is okay and
synonyms with switched places ({xabju} =3D {ze zdani} etc.) are
acceptable, having two gismu where one's terbri is a prefix of the
other's is just plain silly. Why not add all the new gismu for other
prefixes too? Like "x1 is a book", "x1 is a book containing work x2"
etc.
The gismu keywords/definitions aren't sacred, there are many known
misleading ones. I guess this applies to {srana} too.
