[lojban] Re: We need more new words for umami taste, menthol taste and piquancy

[gleki <gleki.is.my.name@gmail.com>]

I suggest optionally replacing existing gismu for tastes with more meaningful terms.

source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taste

?                   ka silna -salty

titla                ka sakta - sweet

slari               ka slami - sour

kurki              ka cakla - bitter

                     la'oi umami / ka rectu - umami

                     se kurtsapi / ka mernta - minty/fresh

                     ka tcati - dry

                     ka grasu - fatty

                     ka xalka - kokumi (alcohol included, so non-neutral)

                     ??? - numbness taste

                     ka cpina - spicy

Umami is considered as one of five tastes now. To be fair it deserves gismu, but I'll be humble. Fu'ivla will be fine for me.

It's called umami (at least in English, Spanish and Russian)

Also taste has such features as chemesthesis which includes menthol taste and piquancy.

What are your suggestions?
