Alright, thanks of the help guys. It's a little disappointing though, finding something like this missing in lojban. Kind of ironic really given it being a "logical" language, that it doesn't have a word for science. I was hoping for this word for a project I was doing talking about science, but I guess I'll have to use some other word with an annotation somewhere about what I really mean by that.

We lack a lot of vocabulary indeed... But I find it very understandable that we lack jargon words such as "The Scientific Method". I don't see the irony. Lojban strives for being culturally neutral; it is only logical that our meager vocabulary focuses first on the more universal idea of knowledge, and only later on such specific concepts developed only recently and in a specific cultural environment.

And what did you think about {skientia} (as posted in the main group)?
