Re: [lojban-beginners] How many words?



Agreed. But you said brivla, which in that example is jdara'a, and that's not a name, it's one of the categories that appears in the cultural gismu (religion).

They aren't culture names.

We may be arguing terminology.  "la vylkan." in the above is what I mean by a "culture name".  Likewise "English", "Hungarian", "Hmong", "Zoroastrian".
