First of all, it's very GLICYKAI to want one exact LUJVO that we use
everytime we refer to the thing that in English is called "the Internet",
"the Web", "the Information Superhighway", "the Internet", "the Net",
"Virtual Reality" & "Where I go when I should be doing work
on my office computer"... Why can't we be content with just using the
various appropriate TANRU for the distinctions we are making at the
moment? (Remember BRODA CEI for texts that use the same referent a
lot!) Why can't there be a dozen LUJVO? Why is this controversial?
I myself think it is TO'E LOBYKAI even to compile such a thing as
"THE Lojban-English/English-Lojban Dictionary". GISMU are not & will
never be GLIVLA SMUDUNLI. Creating such a body of mostly nonce
coinages will only further a misleading illusion that will surely not
outlast the first generation of LOBYTADNI. (But i know this project
means a lot to our respectability (SINMA GUBNI)in the outside world.
It is, then, a regrettable necessity, NALNELCI SE BILGA.)
