[lojban] Re: Chemical elements

[lojdjis <petxd086@googlemail.com>]

"xukmi'fu'e" is mys misprint. I meant "xukmifu'e".

The problem is that all elements are in one periodic system.
It's strange to name one element as dircyjinme (connection with
radiation ?)
and palladium (Pd/46) = jinmrpaladi  (no connection with radiation ?)
But many stable elements (nonradioactive) have radioactive isotopes.

Secondly, it's hard to remember all those words (some elements are
gismu, some are fu'ivla).
It will be easier for chemists to pronounce them as they write
formulae.


Jorge Llambías, I see one more problem ;-).
There should be some standard names for isotopes.

I have no solution to all these points. As the case stands it seems to
me just some lack of logic.
