[lojban] Re: "intelligent"?

Hello all,

[Robert LeChevalier:]

> "Smart" is polysemous.

Apparently "intelligent" is also polysemous, according to WordNet 1.7.1
<http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/>. (And, do we not agree that there are
many kinds of intelligence? Gone are the days when people measure
intelligence with a single "IQ" value.)

I would go for "lojka'e" (adj. senses 1 and 4), "junka'o" (adj. sense 2),
"paika'o" (adj. sense 3). As for the relevant senses of "smart", I propose
"menstati"/"mencre" (adj. sense 1 -- OK, "mencre" is due to lojbab),
"sutcli" (adj. sense 3).

I suppose there are probably also other possibilities for other more obscure
kinds of intelligence.

Thanks,

You may wish to consider "prije" for some of the "intelligent" meanings.
