One can enter a cmevla into jbovlaste. See 
http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/listing.html?type=cmene . There are three 
words for "Hong Kong" in the list, as yet another example of variants.

Votes determine which definition for a word to use. Whether to use the word at 
all will be decided by the dictionary editor, and I don't know how that will 
happen.

There aren't any. There's a list called noralujv.txt, whose contents were 
imported into jbovlaste by the user noralujv, but many of these defs are 
unintelligible.

There isn't a list, but there's at least one discrepancy between the gimste 
and the CLL: {fi'u-} is the rafsi of {cfipu} according to the gimste, but of 
{frinu} according to CLL. ISTR that the BPFK awarded the rafsi to {frinu}, 
but I don't find it.
