Has it actually seen usage? The lujvo was actually {tilju'idu'a}. I can't imagine how {tilju'edu'u} could possibly mean "pedant". {tilju'edu'u} might mean something like "wikiphobe". Yet another proof that rafsi are packed too tight. That meaning of {tilju} has seen usage, it was created during usage (by tsali?) and only for the moment. I was there, during an irc conversation. The lujvo was mine. In any case, nobody proposed that it should ever be used again. mu'o mi'e xorxes
