As a non-linguist, these mean nothing to me.
As a follow-up, I realise that I'm more so irritated by the fact that
so much time and effort is spent in coming up with really big words
and specific English-isms to describe how a Lojban word works, but I
think that we're failing to cater to a major market here, namely
idiots like myself that don't really follow what "lambda" and
"veridical" are or really understand all of the scientific words that
the senior jbo-ists throw around like softballs. Rather than gripe
about all the little technical details, why don't we come up with a
single, stupid, easy, definite answer (for things like "ni" for
example)? Rather than gripe about how something was -intended- to be
used, just decide on what the best way is to use a word and stick with
it.
