[lojban] naming diseases

[Pierre Abbat <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

How should diseases be called in Lojban? I've thought of a few, but they don't 
follow a pattern, and I don't know if anyone else has come up with one.

skorbuti - x1 has scurvy with symptoms x2
fang.niukasl - Exotic Newcastle disease
nakri'a narganse terbilmo'a - androgen insensitivity syndrome
There might be another terbilmo'a which I forget.

Also, some diseases such as cold, flu, and heartburn are named for obsolete or 
ill-fitting metaphors. Does anyone have better names for them?
