Hi Jimmy,

What all these words have in common is that they are lujvo, compound
words built out of the base gismu words. There are rules and conventions
for specifying the place structure of lujvo based on the component gismu
(see http://lojban.github.io/cll/12/1/ for all the details), and the use
of different letters in the definitions is to show which component each
place comes from.

{tityzme} is formed from {titla} "sweet" and {guzme} "squash/melon", and
both its places come from {guzme} so are labelled g1 and g2.

> samyzilkei: x1=k2 is a video game on platform x2=s1
This is {skami} "computer" + {zi'o} "delete a place" +  {kelci} "plays
with". In this case, x is used (I think to make the order more
explicit). k2 is the second place of {kelci}, the thing being played
with, and s1 is the computer.
