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?
 So, for example, in the lujvo at hand, x1 is the solar system, which is interrelated by a structure of planets (x3) orbiting in relatively fixed orbits (x2) displaying properties (x4) of for example, being localized in space relative to other solar systems.
