Re: [lojban] mind map of lojban terms

[Alex Rozenshteyn <rpglover64@gmail.com>]

I was under the impression that a cmevla was a word that could only be used as a name due to morphological constraints, usually ending with a consonant, but that pretty much anything could be a valid cmene (which is a word used as a name).

There was a long discussion on how to pick a word for the concept of
'ziltau'. I wish I could remember how we came to the decision.

I would rearrange a bit - tanru are composed of two ziltau, and a
ziltau is either a brivla or cmavo (or a few other constructs.)

I'm also definitely glad you included cmene in there, as I'm fairly
sure none of the existing texts differentiates between cmene and
cmevla.
