On the other hand, tanru are inherently vague and have all those hard-to-access sumti places floating around, but never just the one you want. Lujvo contrariwise mean just what you want them to mean (even a regular rates) and have just the places you want -- and are equally unintelligible to your communication partners. They also take less time to say and write -- but more time to construct. Let the hundred (or was it thousand) flowers flourish!
