Grouping the Lojban root words is a very worthwhile way of acquiring usable vocabulary. One way of doing this is the ((Lojban Thesaurus)) grouping. ---- Another, more controversial, is to sort according to the number of ''sumti'' each takes, whether one, two, three, four, or five: The ''sumlairdunkemgimgri'' 'groups of gismu of equal quantity of sumtis'-- 1. ''narju xarju'' ('orange pig') 2. ''grusi gunse'' ('gray goose') 3. ''crino cinfo'' ('green lion') 4. ''blabi smani'' ('white monkey') 5. ''nukni jukni'' ('magenta spider') Within each group there would be further subdivisions. ---- *((Opposites And Contraries)) *((Groups of Three And Five)) *((Synonyms)) *((Rhymes)) *((Gismu that have the same consonants, in order)) *((Gismu Anagrams)) *((Gismu differing in one letter only)) *((Gismu with similar place structure)) *((mintu ja ticysmi)) *[http://jwodder.freeshell.org/lojban/vlagri.html|By semantics (somewhat incomplete)] *[http://xahlee.org/lojban/lojban.html|Also by semantics (less complete)]
