History: lujvo for aphorism

Source of version: 2 (current)

What is a good ''lujvo'' meaning "aphorism" or "epigram"? It should express some of these qualities of an aphorism: * it's pretty: in poetic, crafted language * it's pointed: it tries to make a point or communicate a lesson or a moral * it's brief Some ''gismu'' that I have considered: * cusku, darlu, * ctuca, ciksi, * cmalu, * condi, cpina, * pemci, sarxe, * basna (This is an experiment: I want to see if the wiki is a good place to have this kind of discussion. I have chosen one, which I'll put here soon enough. I still want to see if anybody has a better idea. ''mi'e ((jezrax))'') ---- (I have used ''banzu''--short for ''clani banzu selsku''--for this.) ---- Experiment failed! ''mi jdice di'e'' '''cpinyctu''' - cpina ctuca x1 "pungently teaches" to x2 info x3 about x4 by method x5 To teach in a striking or vivid way. (No change from the place structure of ''ctuca''.) We can call this a literal usage if we're willing to say that the x2 of ''cpina'' (the sense which detects the pungency) can include the "sense of appropriateness". Otherwise it's a metaphor, but it doesn't seem tricky at all. '''cpinyctusku''' - cpinyctu cusku agent cusku1=ctuca1 teaches by expressing cusku2 to cusku3=ctuca2 x1 tells a fable, proverb, epigram, pointed anecdote, or other "pungent" teaching saying. (Any further places added to the place structure would be easy to get wrong.) I will write '' se cpinyctusku'' for "aphorism". (Also a good start for a ''((Tautologies and Tongue-Twisters In Lojban|bacrynandu))''.)
