So how do you convert a sumti to a selbri, without imposing a particular place 
structure? I may want to say "ta me la'o .ly. Cucurbitaceae .ly. la'o .ly. 
Sicyos .ly". Of course that's a silly example, since we have the word "guzme", 
but there are lots of families that don't have common names in Lojban.
