Re: [lojban] spamikce



  Well, English doesn't have a word for doctor of plants in general, but we do have "tree surgeon" for a subset of the plant kingdom.

"Herbalist" is, to me, a more relevant concept than "doctor of plants" (it would be interesting to investigate if there is a special word for "doctor of plants" in some language).

Hi .asiz.!

I believe your thinking of "gardener" or "florist" for someone doctoring on dead plants as well. Something like a plant necromancer? I love this language. Maybe you could add a particle to indicate the "using plants" component (pilno?), to make the "Herbalist" more unambiguous. But I don't know :)

Hi davjd!

Well, I did vote for {spamikce} as "doctor of plants" (as in {dalmikce}) and {spaplimikce} as "herbalist". The general notion of "gardener" or "florist" as someone who takes care of plants could be captured by {spaku'i}.
