Re: [lojban] request for a new gismu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episodic_memory

[Ian Johnson <blindbravado@gmail.com>]

This issue is controversial in general; generally most people are not in favor of letting lujvo completely go wild into cimjvo territory, but also find that completely compositionality results in lujvo being useless. The actual position on that scale varies from Lojbanist to Lojbanist; tsani and I are toward the jvajvo end of the spectrum for the most part.

That said, in this particular case using {lifmo'i} or similar is suboptimal precisely because it has a compositional meaning that is actually useful, having to do with remembering facts about an experience as opposed to remembering the experience per se.

The semantics of lujvo don't have to be compositional at all; it's just nice when they are. No need for a new gismu here.

The problem is that basing these lujvo on {morji} is compositionally
wrong on a semantic level. The semanics of lujvo should be
compositional as much as is possible. However, if we were to redefine
morji, which is likely never going to happen, into something like "x1
has memory of / remembers x2 (su'u)" then you can probably derive both
current-morji and mojrli'i from that. The fact that the redefinition
isn't going to happen is what motivates the creation of a new gismu.
