See Chapter 4 Section 15 for the cultural gismu, and Section 16 for the proposed cultural fu'ivla. The animal gismu are a more mixed lot: we inherited most of them from the original Loglan lists, and added a few ("bear") because of their presumed usefulness in metaphor-making. The plants are basically the edible staples (rice, maize, wheat, etc.) plus a few non-edibles here and there. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org You tollerday donsk? N.
