I disagree. I don't think {tolxamgu} means the worst possible, that
would be {tolxagrai}. To me {tolxamgu} is pretty much synonymous 
with {xlali}

But {xlali} does not have the full range of other-than-good!
It doesn't cover the "indifferent" part of the range.

That would be {tolxautcetce}: mutce le ka mutce le ka to'e xamgu

Although it wouldn't be a very good translation for the Orwellian 
word because in Lojban it is a perfectly ordinary word, without 
any funny weirdness about it.
