Re: [lojban] Re: translating gismu definitions into Lojban

[John E Clifford <clifford-j@sbcglobal.net>]

While you are on giving Lojban definitions of Lojban, you might consider working out what are the
semantic primes (ala Wierzbecka)and trying to do all the definitions using only these (or words
properly defined in terms of them) and also try to stick to the semantic prime grammatical
schemes.  I don't know whether this is really possible (especially because of the place structure
of Lojban words), but it provides some source of uniformity and noncircularity for the project.
