Re: [lojban] mivzdacti



  First, you meant "tcuji'e".  A ctuji'e might be a living specimen in a biology class... 
  But anyhow, I don't think the miv- is necessary; it's a "selzda gi'e citka vau da"

I just thought of this word and would like to know what you think. There's
already "ctuji'e" for "parasite", but I think "mivzdacti" may capture the
meaning better: x1 eats x2, which is the living house of x1. Although I can
think of a parasite (hemiparasite, actually) which doesn't fit that definition:
sandalwood pulls sap from the roots of its neighbors, but does not live in
them.
