[lojban] Re: No language has separate words for odors. Let's create them.

My last links clearly showed that even sceintists couldn't agree on how many odor receptor human nose have.

Probably more than 50.

Therefore, I won't suggest creating any cnino valsi for them.

We can still use {ka xrula}, {cpina} and others.

But the problem is that the situation with tastes is also far from perfection. Humans have more than 10 taste receptors.

ju'o lo ponjo jbopre ku can immediately recall "umami" (fifth) taste for which we even don't have a jbovalsi whereas other tastes have gismu.
