[lojban] Etymology of future gismu (if they are to be created)



In recent discussion in "bugs in jbovlaste" Robin suggested that thinking of a bunch of new gismu is worth considering.
If this side wins what will be the source of the sounding of those gismu?
Don't you think that 6 languages are too few?
Let's take English and Spanish. There are much more speakers of those two compared with 
Portuguese, French and Italian.
But if we combine the last three with the previous two they might considerably shift the ratings of phonemes and their combinations 
when applying the gismu creation algorithm (http://dag.github.com/cll/4/14/)
because many words sound similar in those languages.

So why not expand the algorithm to more than 6 languages and may be even up to 20-30 languages as these days (as opposed to 1987) it's not a problem to find the sounding of the selected gismu concept for every language.
