[lojban-beginners] Silly question

I feel a bit dumb for asking, but...well, looking in the gismu list and
other such wordlists, almost all the entries have "cf." followed by a
list of gismu which, upon further investigation, are related to the
original gismu in an unclear manner.  (Unclear to me, at
least.)  What exactly is meant by that cf.?
