It might be so that taxonomists can't figure out what to call this
thing or that thing, but they will eventually come to some kind of
conclusion, not to mention that such disagreements probably have to do
with species that're so uncommon or bizarre that we would most
certainly never need to actually talk about them, unless Lojban should
become the language of science, which is highly unlikely.

Concerning the fact that "no one like type-3 fu'ivla," it's my opinion
(and that of a handful of others on IRC) that type-3 are the ideal
solution for fu'ivla. On the other hand, I personally think that
type-4 zi'evla should be reserved/used primarily for lojban-based
zi'evla, which in my opinion are the good alternative to cimjvo.

Anyway, as for "pomegranate" itself, we had this discussion in IRC and
determined grutrgranate be the best word for it. Conversationally, I
think that you could presumably drop the grutr- after having said the
full word once or twice.
