Sadly, it doesn't, but as a result of me typing quite a bit of Lojban into it with autocorrect turned on, it "knows" a handful of gismu.

 

pardon my ignorance but arent {ni} and {ka} derived from klani and ckaji?

They are. And {nu} from {fasnu}, {su'u} from {sucta}, {pu'u} from {pruce}, {mu'e} from {mulno}. I think the CLL lists where they're all from.

Well, I wanted to ask why should we have a separate fundamental class of sumti if {ni} is derived and therefore probably can be rephrased from another NU type of sumti.

Another question is isn't fasnu1 and djuno2 have something in common? We call both of them abstractions but acc. to your scheme they are in separate classes.
