The word "star" is polysemous:
1. a heavenly body that emits light;
2. a non-convex shape that has a point from which all the inside can be seen;
3. a chief or excellent performer.
Sense 1 is {tarci}. Sense 3 could be expressed by a lujvo, which I won't worry
about right now. Sense 2, I think, deserves a gismu, but doesn't have one.
I think that sense 2 deserves a gismu because it appears in several compounds:
starfish, star-nosed mole, stellated polyhedron. What do you think? What would
be a good word for it?
