History: gi'uste

Source of version: 2 (current)

The official baselined list of ((gismu)). This is not just an abstract list; it is an actual document, available at [http://www.lojban.org/publications/wordlists/gismu.txt]. --------- This should probably be ((gimste)), shouldn't it? At least, ((jvocu'adju)) (from the ((jbofi'e)) distribution) says that ''gimste'' has a better score (5878) than ''gi'uste'' (6367). --pne The scoring algorithm was based on somebody's aesthetic preferences (don't remember who) - which are, surprisingly, not universal. If you want to call it a gimste, go right ahead. But others are welcome to call it a gi'uste if they want to, and still others will say gismu liste. ''FWIW, I prefer ''gi'uste''. But that is definitely influenced by the fact that I saw that form first, and also because it's "closer" in form to ''((ma'oste))''. --pne'' * ''.e'unai .i la'e zo gi'uste cu cmima jena dunli ro loi smuni be lu gismu liste li'u'' I use ''gimste''. According to ((the Book)), alternate ((rafsi)) choices in a ((lujvo)) give "the same" lujvo (chapter 4 section 5), so it's a matter of preference. Chapter 4 section 12 says the lujvo-scoring algorithm "may change in the future," and "the lowest-scoring variant will usually [[that is, not always] be the dictionary form of the lujvo." There's definitely room for confusion if people rely on paper dictionaries, but electronic lookup should have no trouble with any form of a lujvo. ''mi'e ((jezrax))''
