not universal; Hebrew instead contrasts enter/exit (ba'/tse').
"Disappear" is the opposite of "appear" (which is opposite to how Lojban does
it - canci/tolcanci) but "discard" is not the opposite of "card". And in
Spanish "desnudo" (lunbe) is not the opposite of "nudo" (jgena); Latin "nudus"
and "nodus" fell together, and they added a prefix to distinguish them.
As to "silna", I think it should be a general term for all sorts of chemical
salts, table salt, or sea salt, and we should make lujvo for when we want to
distinguish them. But there's only one "composition" place, and a salt is
composed of positive ions and negative ions, which can be varied
independently.
