One reason I'd like to get the gismu making program working is to make an 
experimental gismu for "crustacean". I think that expanding "jukni" to 
include all arachnids was correct, but expanding it to all arthropods except 
insects was wrong. The other groups of arthropods, besides those three, are 
the myriapods (for which I coined the word "sortupcinki"), the other 
chelicerates (horseshoe crab, sea scorpion, and maybe sea spider), and the 
extinct trilobites.
