The new currencies table is this: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ai4mbIPr2PUwdGVWcWpsSTVBQ0htZS1pb3pTYUNSNVE&hl=en I understand that the list seems awful, but they are not terrible. You don't always talk about 7000 countries and their languages and currencies. You don't know all their names. And, finally, no one forces anyone to know all of them; if someone doesn't like a word, just creates another one and use it. You may link that new word in the comments of the word in jbovlaste. The seem difficult to learn, but again, you've only to know 2 or 3 letters, and most of the times they resemble what you're talking about. The prefix are useful as they are in lujvo, or fu'ivla type-3; you may not know which, for example, country is the other person talking about, but you'll know is a country (and you can ask later which country is it). mu'o mi'e leos El 09/04/2010 02:35 p.m., Christopher Doty escribió: > I am still absolutely, one hundred percent opposed to the idea of having > 7,000 words with an identical first syllable for related concepts.
