[jbovlaste] Re: crab

[Remo Dentato <rdentato@gmail.com>]

Sigh. It seems that consensus have be reached tough :(

At one point in time I understood that jukni *do* relate to crustacean
and not only to spiders but I might be wrong.

Actually I really don't mind. To me is more important that whatever I
use has a chance to appear (and being accepted) in the jbovlaste at
some point in the future.

I also like "braxiura" if the linnean taxonomy is the way to go.

I just set up a doodle poll to, at least, recap how many are for or
against each word. Instead of tanru i put the lujvo. I hope I got all
the proposals that have been made so far.

The poll is just indicative, I would like to use the result to
translate "the big crab wizard" in "le vrinu smani blozeile'a", but I
hope it will help to see if a consensus might emerge.
