Re: [lojban] Re: No gismu for Difference

Indeed, this has been something that has nagged at the back of my mind since I started studying the language; there are fairly few words which are sufficiently similar to their source language counterparts to help a speaker of a source language learn the language more easily. The stated purpose of the algorithm doesn't seem like it was really achieved, pe'i. Not that that's a bad thing, as it still provides a source of an a priori vocabulary.

The problem here is why to apply the algorithm that gives no mnemonic advantages?

 

(I meant to say "frica".)
