(guzme alone is probably enough in most and possibly all places in the story). I've thought of calling a pumpkin {brazme}. Whether I've actually used the word I don't remember, but it's not in jbovlaste. phma

I like clsn's suggestion, and will take it (guzmrkukurbita here and there, and just guzme where otherwise unambiguous)

I like clsn's suggestion, and will take it (guzmrkukurbita here and there, and just guzme where otherwise unambiguous) Point well taken, though a watermelon could also be called {jauzme} or {guzrcitrulo}. I use {kurbita} as the type-4 form. I've also seen small pumpkins. Maybe we should say it's a {bolseltai kurbita}, to distinguish the pumpkin from the other squashes. phma

They are diferent. Sumti connectives can always be expanded as bridi connectives. "lo ni barda .e lo ni bolci .e lo ni narju cu broda" is equivalent to "lo ni barda cu broda .ije lo ni bolci cu broda .ije lo ni narju cu broda". Tanru connectives, on the other hand, are not really expandable. "lo ni barda je bolci je narju" is the amount of big-ball-orangeness, whatever that is. Now, it may be the case that the amount of big-ball-orangeness is related to the amount of bigness, the amount of ballness and the amount of orangeness in such a way that something that is related to each of those three things is also related in the same way to the first, but that will depend on how one understands the tanru. mu'o mi'e xorxes
