Hello everybody, Recently, I've asked for help to find Lojban equivalents to "apparently simple" words like "neighbo(u)r" or "bicycle". And I sometimes got several different replies and you have started to discuss alternatives, meanings, pros and cons, correcting each other, etc.
I'm just a beginner here myself -- but Lojban word formation is pretty flexible. {relxilma'e} is pretty well-established as meaning "bicycle" -- I've seen it used in that context before -- but one of several other possible words could be used, and your listener would still be able to generally understand what you mean by breaking down the word.
