I don't know about the philosophy, but lo xajyfi'e cu xarju nagi'enai finpe, 
and {xajyfi'e} occurs in Alice. Some others are {mantycinfo} (an insect, 
unrelated to ants) and {xinfigre} (a cactus fruit, rindo jenai xindo; I 
recently made up this word and this is the first time I've said it). The last 
two also translate their scientific names.
