[lojban] Keys are our enemies

[pycyn@aol.com]

As Lojbab has noted, the words that were assigned to gismu for the convenience of Logflash are often (outside that program) a genuine block as much as a help.  But they are now a fixture of Lojban.  To undercut their influence, once the actual place-structure of gismu are learned, Lojbab suggested that we point out a number of other Lojban words that fit the "key" as well or better.  This will also extend the list of lujvo in interesting ways.

Herewith a few obvious cases -- for correction, expansion, and/or imitation and extention.  Do join.

"utter"  {traji} in modifier position (a bad homonym).

"banana" (slang) {xamseljibri} already exists

"sad" {se kecti},  {pindi} (with words like speciment, etc.)

"run"  {sazri}, a classic.  {to'espofu} (which seems backwards, semantically), {cmalyrirxe}, {pluta}   and probably many more (said to be the most ambiguous word in English).

"bundle" {bakfygasnu} and/or {bakfyzbasnu}, {kufryjgari} (or some such -- a bit more than "hug")

"chalk" {bakrypilno}
