Talk:spero

First proposed (with a real chance back then of it becoming official!) by John Cowan, rejected at Logfest 91.

• kir:

  According to proposal in chapter 4.16 of The Book, fu'ivla spe'ato can be used instead. How do you like this?

  • Jay:

    spe'anto is better, IMO.

    • kir:

      But The Book explicitely suggests CCVVCV for cultural fu'ivla!

      • nitcion:

        This being a strawpoll :-) , I'm diehard behind bangrnesperanto.

    • Maybe banrsperanto? Being hardcore fundamentalist, I avoid this as not being canonical per the Book.
      • ???!!! How is it not canonical? Fine: "not the default strategy suggested."
• .kreig.daniyl.:

  spero all the way!

• tsali:

  Well, I'm in favour of pacnybau.

• xod:

  Since I think we need to jettison all cultural gismu (except lojbo) and replace them with stage threes, Esperanto is no exception!

  • Read more here.
• And Rosta:

  pe'i it is okay to keep cultural gismu and add new ones so long as the existing ones lose their rafsi (in usage or in Ideal Lojban). See Boo to cultural gismu.

• Plastic Raven:

  The idea of cultural gismu is totes inconsistent, considering the nature of Lojban. However, the prefixes and suffixes are sometimes useful.
