Yes, but the noralujv definitions are nigh unusable as written; you
need like a degree in noralujv to make use of them.

Also, they *all* are in jbovlaste, they just haven't all been
cleaned up enough to be useful, and hence have no votes, and hence
don't show up in the exports; see
http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/needed/ if you'd like to help

The reason for the basic english word list was *not* to provide a
dictionary; it was to act as a guide for words that need to be
created, that is, simple and obvious meanings/concepts/objects for
which we don't hav ewords yet.
