[lojban-beginners] zgana, viska, catlu



Couldn't we use only one of the above root-words (since they have quite the same origin: visual observing) together with some cmavo?
Like this:
zgana - 'sudden viska'
catlu - 'intentional viska'
viska - 'see'
So catlu & zgana crossed out and everything still may be expressed; and this isn't the only case where a whole kit of root-words describing nearly the same meaning exists.
Having an extra gismu for versions of a word seems pointless to me.
