Re: [lojban] Re: Is there any real diffrence between hope (.a'o) and desire (.au)?

Lojban isn't meant to be based on semantic primes, but semantic primes are useful in discussing the meaning of the words, just as with any other language. That's the whole point of NSM.

Who will discuss semantics primes if not us? Any forum you are aware of? I'm afraid they are discussed nowhere.

Guaspi? Any other conlang group? University level linguistics courses? Gismu aren't primes, the set of UI aren't meant to be primes, and nothing in the language is meant to be the most basic set of anything. We *really* need to hammer that into everybody and start adopting a policy of using what's there instead of reinventing the wheel. Look, and I mean seriously and earnestly look, for a solution using what is already available to you. If it isn't a problem, don't fix it, and if you absolutely are completely unable to do it with the current grammar, we'll talk then.
