And that word I did not invent, I only entered into the dictionary. It was 
already on the Lojban wiki, along with {didni}, {nusna}, {sicpi}, {gumri}, 
and several others. The ones I invented are mostly chemical terms, such as 
{benzo} and {zmase}, which are either common enough concepts or used in 
enough compounds that I think there ought to be gismu for them.

This includes adding a note to lujvo and type-3 fu'ivla made from experimental 
gismu (which jbovlaste does not note as such) saying that they are 
experimental. I'm going to enter some now as examples.
