This really only covers morphology in significant detail, the actual choice of the words from the source languages as well as the way in which the place structures of the words were created are rather undocumented, to my knowledge.

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?--
