It would be more useful if you use only a small set of words for definitions, then one could use the dictionary without already knowing most of them. Here's an interesting puzzle: Given a Lojban dictionary in Lojban, make up semantics for the words so that the definitions make sense. (Assume that you know the grammar, but no gismu.) /Thorild
