[lojban] shea butter



Shea butter is extracted from the seeds of Butyrospermum parkii, a tree which 
grows in West Africa, where it is called shétoulou, karité, and probably 
other names. The genus name means {matnytsi}, which is phonetically close to 
{mapnytsi}, {matlytsi}, and the as yet undefined {mantytsi}. There is no law 
against lujvo minimal pairs, but they can be confusing, e.g. {noltroni'u} the 
Duchess (in Alice) and {noltruni'u} the Queen. Another potentially confusing 
pair is {mantyslami} and {matnyslami}. The other option is fu'ivla: 
{matnrcetulu}, {ricrcetulu}, {tsijrcetulu}, or {matnrkarite}, {ricrkarite}, 
{tsijrkarite}, What do you think is better?
