Addendum / clarification

["C.D. Wright" <C.D.Wright@SOLIPSYS.COMPULINK.CO.UK>]

Sorry about the multiple posts in quick succession, but before
I get even more emails telling me about the gismu list at ...

    ftp://ftp.access.digex.net/pub/access/lojbab/wordlists/gismu

Let me tell you why it's next to useless for me.  I have in mind
a specific word in English ...  say  "like",  or  "toy".  How can
I then find ...

nelci : fond : x1 is fond of/likes/has a taste for x2 (object/state)
kelci : play : x1 [agent] plays with plaything/toy x2

Doing a search for  "like"  or  "toy"  will find all sorts of false
matches.  I want to search for "like" and find the English word in
the file, and know that the first word of that entry has a near exact
match in the lojban gismu list.

I need/want an English/lojban dictionary that doesn't give just the
entries that have close equivalents, but gives near matches as well.
That's what I'm trying to compile.


I hope this is a little clearer, sorry for any confusion and thanks
to those who have responded already.
