[lojban-beginners] distinction between gismu & cmavo



My understanding is that every gismu consists of 5 letters. But on the gismu list I find those various words of less than 5 letters. {mi} is an example. Precisely, is {mi} a gismu, or is it a cmavo? If cmavo, why can it be a sumti for a selbri without some descriptor like {le} as is the case for a gismu when used as an argument?
