Re: [lojban] guess a lujvo

Okay, I get that. I don't know what {jmetijdembi} is, but somebody suggested 'soybean', which seems like an odd choice since there's already "sobde" that means 'soy(a)', so why suggest 'soybean' when there's no "sobde" in Pierre's lujvo? Or is his lujvo possibly just a synonym?

The point is: Pierre siad something (in this case {jmetijdembi}). He
clearly meant something specific and he will successful if we can get
it or he can fail in conveying his meaning to us if we can't get a
clue on what he meant.

The fact that there might other (possibly better) ways of saying what
he wanted to say is relevant, but it's a separate discussion, I think.
