The designers of a new langague are seeking input.  The person who submits the most useful suggestion will receive free a signed limited edition of The Complete Grammar of Simplang, a language mathmatically proven to have the smallest possible grammar.
Among cmavo there are '''du co'e mo''', maybe others.
 
Input is sought for the design of Inoffensish.  This language is to allow people to make statements about the world that won't offend anyone.  For example, these two sentences would translate to exactly the same sentence:
 
In 1492 Columbus discovered
 
America and brought
 
Christianity to the new
 
world.
 
In 1492 white europeans began
 
a centuries-long program of
 
genocide against native
 
Americans.
 
In Inoffensish both sentences would mean something like:
 
In 1492 Columbus opened the
 
new world to Europeans, which
 
has had profound effects,
 
both good and bad, for
 
aboriginal North Americans.
 
==== The purposes for this langague ====
 
peace studies, diplomacy, press
 
releases by groups dependent on
 
government funds, etc.

I seem to recall an implementation of this, called by the same name, from the eminently brilliant and humorous [[jbocre: Jacques Guy|Jacques Guy]] a.k.a. [[jbocre: frogguy|frogguy]].  Here's a link: [http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/8389/inoff.htm
 
''The] obvious way to implement it is to make Christianity and Genocide be the same word...''
 
That's it, exactly! It's the BS-ish business (so much loved in our flat and hypocritical western society - esp. the U.S.!) to call something white-black or right-wrong or "Let us all be happy and peaceful, clap our hands and sing ..."

jutsi = [jut] x1 is a species of genus x2, family x3, etc.; [open-ended tree-structure categorization]
  • pne:
    • A gismu that has an indefinite number of places. (And you thought no gismu on the gimste had more than five!)

You can also add arbitrarily many subunit places to: bunda dekpu fepni gutci kramu minli broda brode brodi brodo brodu. I think these six and jutsi are the only gismu that can have over five places. Anybody know all the cmavo that can take indefinitely many places?

Among cmavo there are du co'e mo, maybe others.
