See Chapter 4 Section 15 for the cultural gismu, and Section 16
for the proposed cultural fu'ivla.

The animal gismu are a more mixed lot: we inherited most of them
from the original Loglan lists, and added a few ("bear") because
of their presumed usefulness in metaphor-making.

The plants are basically the edible staples (rice, maize, wheat,
etc.) plus a few non-edibles here and there.
