Thank you for pointing out the fa fi, inconsitancy.
I'm for removing words, but Not for narrowing the vocabulary.
It's just we have a lot of words, that are just insulting, like cultural
gIsmu. What about the Hungarians?

It's not going to narrow your vocabulary to take out synonyms like lOjbo, we
already have la lOjban. no point in having a cultural gIsmu too. Take the
example of sOfto. English doesn't have a verb for every nationality, and I
think you'd be hard pressed to find a language with such an odd concept.
lOkadin,
When you stop capitalizing vowels unnecessarily, I'll start reading your posts again.
