Also, is a coincidence that your name "stevo" has the morphological
form of a gismu, but does not show up in even the "experimental gismu"
on the Lojban dictionary web search
(http://www.lojban.org/cgi-bin/dict.pl?Form=dict.pl1&Query=
  &Strategy=*&Database=jbo->en&submit=Submit+query), as "gumri" does.
I personally will not use "la gumri" or the "la marca" that I remember
seeing discussed a long time ago on a different message forum.
"la marca" could be considered taking liberties with the morphology,
so if you are using "la stevo" in the same way, you can hardly
criticze me for my imagination since I'm just personally curious
about the mathematical answer to my question, and don't intend to
actually propose new gismu.


My name "stevo" deliberately has the form of a gismu, but when I use it in Lojban, I always use "stevon".  I never try to use "stevo" as a gismu.  What would be its meaning?  "x1 is the person called "stevo" "?
