[lojban] Re: danfu dandu danlu



I see.  I haven't read chapter 4 in quite some time.  Maybe I should go back over it again.  I guess it can't be helped that some words will sound similar (I'm not even going to bring up similarity of cmavo).

Another interesting one I've been tripped up on: cikre, ckire.  They don't so much sound the same as much as they look the same.

There was an intention, and Lojban was in fact designed so that the {gismu}
sound distinctive, just not (apparently) by your personal standards of
"distinctive."  (Also, you missed "{dansu}.")   See item 4 of the {gismu}
creation algorithm in section 4.14 of the CLL for more information.
