Never mind. I believe the (historical) advantages of the gismu creation algorithm, which is in principle a holdover from earliest Loglan, as I gather, lie more one the side of quelling (some of the) endless discussions about vocabulary than in anything else. Oh, it's probably a nice propaganda device, too.

I think it is not of particular importance how the gismu look/sound. I can live with obvious oddities such as {ckafi} or {ketco}.

Also I didn't follow the discussion that resulted in the creation of these two new (unofficial that is, right?) gismu, so I still can't comment on their necessity.

I only cringed a bit when I saw my beloved German mistreated so recklessly. ;) By the way, the French is "vantr", not "vontr". :p


There was no discussion. It all looked like a strong suggestion from lojbo nolraitru which I used as a test for my the updated method of generating gismu.

Sorry for my mistakes in etymology. I tried to be careful with Indian languages but was didnt paid enough attention to German and French. Next time I'll just post my suggestions to ralju mriste first.
