Re: [lojban] Getting serious about "Cultural" fi'uvla (was: You're doing it wrong)

[Oren <get.oren@gmail.com>]

Not sure if that was directed at me... my argument is:

Culture is informed by a myriad of elements, including time, location
and way of life.

First, among these elements, language is both a source of temporal,
geographic and habitual solidarity, and is subject rigorous empirical
qualification. I recommend use of ISO codes and/or lojbanized fu'ivla
from the language's autonym.

Second, among these elements, nation of residence informs clear
geographic boundaries, and has some accepted standards. Note that
'gugde' means territory, and not government. I recommend use of ISO
codes and/or lojbanized fu'ivla from the territory's most populous
language's autonym.

Third, religion/philosophy is difficult to qualify, and by definition
has principles or tenets. I recommend lujvo which use the religion's
self-definition.

Fourth, pure geographic features should use localized cmene where
applicable (towns) and lujvo where no local language is applicable
(south america, the pacific ocean).
