Re: word for "www" (was: Archive location.)



cu'u la djorden.

That said, CLL seemed to me when I read it to be very much in favor
of lujvo which are literally-devised in a predictable fashion (but
allowing for removing pieces of the source tanru to shorten them).

CLL has a whopping disclaimer at the front of it, saying that those are my ideas, not LLG policy; and lojbab wasn't exactly passionately agreeing with them. I think the idea is correct, else I wouldn't have advocated it; I've said enough on the wiki and elsewhere about this, but I certainly haven't changed my mind. If other Lojbanists choose to agree with dikyjvo, bully for them; and the marketplace of ideas is where it will get duked out.

Pre-CLL lojban had plenty of problems (literal lujvo aside), so I
don't think the implied argument of "it's always been this way, so
it's the right way" makes any sense whatsoever (especially if you're
reaching back to the Dark Ages (loglan days) of the language).
