The problem with this seems to be that the Lojban gismu {pilji} expresses
a product of but two factors. If we had a brivla that meant "x1 is a
product of factors x2", we could simply say "broda be lo cmalu ku po'o".
It is not entirely clear to me how to best construct such a brivla.


I proposed {simsumji} for "x1 is the sum of all of x2
added together" <http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/simsumji>,
so I would propose {simpi'i} for the product.

I would have suggested sorpi'i and sorsumji for the same concepts.
