   It's funny, but I always wondered  the same about (similar scale,
but opposite end) "xebni".  Usually one has a reason for hating
something, and it often comes up in utterances (2.08 MGh (million
Google hits) for "hate * because").  It seems odd  that lojban doesn't
have a dedicated tersu'i  for it.  But I never wondered about it
"aloud" to the lojbo cecmu, because I figured there is no point, since
the gi'uste has been baselined for the foreseeable future .
