Re: [lojban] It's time to create a brivla for the web
I'm in favour of [uebre] as well.Of course, using type-3 zi'evla is more understandable, but for concepts that are extremely widespread, such as the web, in this case, I believe that the use of type-4 is justified. Some type-3 should never get type-4, by contrast, due to their being very specific. However, in a more relaxed environment where the other party is surely acquainted with the term, why not use the type-4, or make one up on the spot to substitute for the type-3, which are usually quite the mouthful?
[uebre] makes an uncanny parallel with [kibro], both using the [br] pair in the same place.
Otherwise, for a type-3, who objects to [kibrlxuebre]? zo'oru'e

It should be "skamrxuebe", since "skamruebe" is not type-3, but I like
"uebre".
