Perhaps the dictionary could include an etymology for the lujvo, though, which would just be a compact description of where the places came from and look something like (b1=c1, b2, c2). The original places really do help if you want to know more precisely what each place means. Plus, having this as a standard encourages making seljvajvo lujvo. -- mu'o mi'e rab.spir
