remodSection 4.14 of CLL gives a description of the gismu creation process (http://dag.github.com/cll/4/14/).However, it would be very interesting to ear the story directly from Bob and the other fathers of Lojban.

Every Lojbanist understands that gismu denote predicates that are highly practical.e.g. {pilno} includes a goal as pilno3. Indeed, how can we imagine using something without a goal?My question is who collected those definitions? Was it JCB? How was this gimste formed? Is there a changelog of modifications to gismu definitions starting from the first edition of loglan?
My particular interest here is with the recent discussion of a possible new gismu meaning "qua". The corresponding word is of high frequency in Mandarin but in European languages it is often confused with words meaning {simsa}.e.g."as" means both "like" and "qua".Russian "как" [kak] means both "like" and "qua".Were Mandarin predicates taken into consideration while constructing gismu definitions?--
