Re: [lojban] blood - jgina

[Ame]rind(o) Native American.  It looks like an old word, but it is not in any list I have.  Many of those ethnic, culture words got made up and then never used and this may be one -- or Pierre have made it up noncely today.  Carrying over the blood image is probably a bad idea, although doing it totally literally is probably worse ("none of my genetic material is derived from people of Native American heritage" or some such thing).  Just {mi na rindo} should cover it.

That looks like misusage of scientific words to me.
Afaik, there are larger differences in gene of people from the
same country than of people from different countries in many cases.

Maybe something like "mi na'e se dzena le liryxa'u"?
What is {rindo} supposed to mean, I can't find it anywhere.
