[1] I think the record is "nertercuxste" and "datnylutste", with seven places each And is there any mechanism analogous to the fa,fe,fi,fo,fu mechanism to get at places beyond the fifth? Or do I have to put in a bunch of zo'e? (Or start with "fu" and add "zo'e"s?) (And is the limit of five places for gismu intentional, or is it just because noone could think of a good reason to have more? Asked another way, if a gismy "broda" enters the official language in the future, could it have more than five places? Or are gismu restricted to five places and only lujvo (and fu'ivla?) can have more?) fe'omi'e filip.
