[lojban-beginners] The solar system

[Ross Ogilvie <oges007@gmail.com>]

coi rodo,

I've been looking around the lojban wiki and I was wondering a few things. The Solar System (http://jbo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=solri_ciste) in particular strikes me as poor word-for-word translated name. My questions are thus:


1. What does {ciste} actually mean? The definition 
> x1 (mass) system interrelated by structure x2 among components
>
>        x3 (set) displaying x4 (ka).

is a bit opaque. What are some examples of its use?

2. Would something like {loi plini be lo solri} be a better name for the solar system? Or perhaps something based on {girzu} (group)?

3. What do people think of the lojban wikipedia? Is is a good place to practice reading (by which I mean is the use of lojban usually at a good standard)?

Thanks
mu'o mi'e ros.
