TECH: a very few lujvo



First: as I was entering in last month's lujvo, I saw Jorge proposed {snisku}
for "gesticulate". But a {sinxa} is not a gesture; it is a symbol, and all
{snisku} is saying is "using some symbolic system to communicate" --- which
is most forms of communication we know! I'd counterpropose {xadysku} ---
"to bodily express". We already have {firsku} for "facial expression."

cnima'o: attitudinal (cinmo cmavo)
zgama'o: observational (zgana cmavo)
xusycmuma'o: evidential (xusra jicmu cmavo)
fagyfesyvau: ashtray (fagri festi cmavo)
detcartu: calendar (detri cartu; btw, "graph" should be given as a synonym of
{cartu})
clupypijne: paperclip (clupa pijne)
plopijne: staple (polje pijne)
plopijnyla'a: to staple (polje pijne lasna)
plopijnytci: stapler (polje pijne tutci)
luptci: screwdriver (klupe tutci)
zgisrita'e: cassette (zgike dasri tanxe)
zgiku'ocukla: LP (zgike skuro cukla)
zgiku'ocukca'a: record player (zgike skuro cukla cabra)
zgiku'ocukyzmi: jukebox (zgike skuro cukla zmiku)
cmaladyca'a: microphone (cmalu cladu cabra; I've been contemplating something
involving 'receiver', but amn't sure how to convey that in Lojban.)
nazbu'u: handkerchief (nazbi bukpu; it's what it's called in Esperanto.
The jvoste has daskybukpu, but the synonym won't hurt.)

Oh, and I do think we're about due for another round of Eaton words :)
