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

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

>>Back when they were making the gismu list, they tested various numbers of 
source languages. When they tried more than 8, the algorithm behaved like a 
random-word generator. 6 is the number they found the best for making words 
that are recognizable to a large number of people. 

This disproves JCB's theory (of global etymology that he mentioned in his article in SciAm).
However, this can be easily checked.

Mark somewhere in your notes or browser bookmarks.

*If it comes to creating new gismu ask me (If I'm still around at that time).
I'll give you etymology, sources/dictionaries/audio samples and the scoring results for the concepts that you choose.*
