Thank you!

Of cource {ne'i} is more precise, but who remember it? I don't. While
{vi} is "basic lojban", everyone knows it.

As far as I understand, {bacru} has broader meaning than {cmoni}. And,
for my taste, a carrot just {cmoni}, like an animal.

something wrong with {gau}. But I cannot find any better solution. Your
suggestion?
