However, as i said this method including all jvajvo including such silly ones as SE+gismu and cmavo compounds.

cultural ISO-fu'ivla is another example of what jvs consists of.

Hmm... okay so maybe I can guesstimate there are about 10,000 actual single words (i.e. 22,260 minus all the "silly words").

Which words do you consider silly?

a fu'ivla for "Bella Coola" language can be named silly but this language was discussed by Lojbanists in past.

May be you should rely on frequency wordlist? Then at which point you will stop counting words?

How many words are there in English? How many of them are silly?

That seem like a fair estimate? I'm just wanted to mention the approximate number of words in an article/blog-post of mine.

Maybe it would be better to just mention the number of gismu. Is there a more firm number of those?

~1400. Again some of them are used very seldom.
