Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: A suggestion for the Lojban names of weekdays and months.

Personally, the more I think about it, the more I'm loving gejyspa's skadei suggestion.  <after typing out a long paragraph with sentences starting with "additionally" and "also" etc... I've opted for bullets>

• It has the sequential nature that a rational logical system should have.
• It's very flexible for different calendars to invent new day words without necessarily conflicting with other calendars by adding more fine grained color words for more days to a week or more broad color words for fewer days.  
• It completely avoids the problem that xorxes pointed out of colliding with the Nday long periods system.  
• I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would make sense for xundei, et al so not likely to collide with future lujvo.
• Don't need to worry about cmevla vs taking up gismu space vs etc...  All the weekday words under gejyspa's system are canonical form lujvo.
• It's an original piece of lojban culture that isn't merely a copy off of other cultures techniques for naming days (hey imagine that!)
• It's prettier, in my opinion.

Lindar,

So that I might better understand, what kind of proposal would be
insufficiently ridiculous for proposing 7 gismu?  I'd like to better
understand what is and isn't a worthly proposal for adding gismu,
outside of this specific proposal to add 7 gismu for days of the
week.
