Origins of the prim/gismu list

[John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org>]

What is known about the origins of the Loglan prim list?  Did JCB just
cook up the English words out of his own head, or did he use some other
resources to do so?

Is a chair finely made tragic or comic? Is the          John Cowan
portrait of Mona Lisa good if I desire to see           jcowan@reutershealth.com
it? Is the bust of Sir Philip Crampton lyrical,         www.ccil.org/~cowan
epical or dramatic?  If a man hacking in fury           www.reutershealth.com
at a block of wood make there an image of a cow,
is that image a work of art? If not, why not?               --Stephen Dedalus
