I have to note that this is because each of those three topics was the
subject of a special effort to coin lujvo for a variety of terms.
Specifically, we attempted to have an RPG session in Lojban here at my
house one day, and coined a word list for reference.  Likewise for computer
discussion.  Another person (who wishes that we wouldn't keep harping on it
zo'o) coined a list of sexual terms to show that it could be done.

The lujvo list so far is merely a reflection of the words that had been
coined as of 1993 or 1994 when Nick tackled the place structure problem
with no attempt at weeding or balance.

No doubt.  Care to try?
