Has there been any attempt to collect m= nemonic=20 aids for remembering gismu?  Instead of a brute force approach ("kumfa= =3D=20 room...kumfa =3D room...KUMFA =3D ROOM!"), memory seems to be helped with s= ome sort=20 of association, especially one that's visual.  For example: imagining = a=20 "COOMFAtable room" (comfortable room).  Or, imagining a man SITting in= a=20 ZOOT SUit (zutse).  Or, "don't get CHEEKY this TIME OF=20 DAY" (tcika).
 
Obviously, some associations will make = sense=20 only to the maker, but I wonder if mnemonic suggestions might be a useful=20 addition to either a dictionary entry or a tutorial chapter's glossary=20 list.
