[lojban] Re: informal discussion of words

[Stela Selckiku <selckiku@gmail.com>]

I've been thinking about it more, and it occurs to me that just having
the plain word as the page title might be more convenient, because
then you could link to the page about a word just by surrounding the
word in (( )), you wouldn't have to write um ((casnu zo valsi|valsi))
or whatever.  Does anyone strongly object to discussing words on pages
named simply the word itself?  We have at least a few pages that
already do that, such as:

http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=balcukta
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=blanu
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=cmavo
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=najyzme
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=fraso
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=lojbo
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=malglico
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=selma'o
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=traji
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=zo'o

Um ok now that I started looking I guess there are a LOT of pages that
do that.  I guess it turns out the answer to my question is that we've
been doing it that way for years and years and I never noticed, sorry.
 The only problem I see with that system is that it could conflate
discussing the meaning of the word with discussing the thing meant by
the word, but I'm not sure that's even a bad thing-- using a word to
discuss the thing it refers to is one useful way to demonstrate its
meaning.
