Self-replying.

Just for the record, jimca is fine, I just don't think it's the *best*
for the purpose.

I'm a lot less averse to metaphorical lujvo now that I've created a
whole bunch of them *complete* *with* *place* *structure*.  Doing so
makes it obvious that Lojban words are more defined by place structure
than keyword, and that anything that has the place you want is The Right
Choice.

I still think ralcku is asinine, though.  mutmi'i I mind a lot less than
I used to, although I think it's rarely the best choice for "software"
(too broad).
