We knew that perfectly well.

Originally jukni meant "spider" and that was all.  It was then widened
to "arachnid" when it was realized that scorpions and such should be
included, and the Logflash keyword was changed.  Finally, in an
attempt to broaden the animal gismu sufficiently to cover everything,
jukni was broadened to mean any arthopod that is not a cinki.
