John implemented re-implemented the gismu scoring algorithm in Perl, from the description in the Red Book.
My part in this is that I re-ran his program and got a different result. It turned out that his script for generating candidate gismu forms didn't generate all possibilities, while my is vastly overgenerating -- but that doesn't matter, so long as the winner has a legal form.
The sources from the 6 languages were: Chinese: uan Hindi: rakan English: ekspekt Spanish: esper Russian: predpologa Arabic: mulud (no effect on scoring)

Please do. John used the most recent weighthings he could get, viz.: zh: 0.347 hi: 0.196 en: 0.160 es: 0.123 ru: 0.089 ar: 0.085

The normal response to this would be to make a lujvo, but there are only about 3 words that have a place for the odds of something happening, and none of them help. cu'o isn't subjective enough to be useful, and has no rafsi anyways. The best lujvo I could come up with was something like nordjipa'a, which is incredibly long for such a simple concept. Furthermore, we need to settle on whether pacna really can be used to mean "expect" without implying desire, so we're going to have to poke at the gismu list here no matter what we do. > >Therefore, I propose that we tweak pacna a tiny bit to make it clear that desire is always implied, and add the gismu kanpe (generated by Arnt and Cowan from the old gismu algorithm) meaning "expect" (without implication of desire). > >!

I'll try to run the program on it, and see what comes up (note that the current weightings are slightly different from those of 1986, and running with different weightings also gives different answers).
