spero

spero, an unofficial gismu for 'Esperanto' (see also http://arj.nvg.org/lojban/unofficial-gismu.html).

First proposed (with a real chance back then of it becoming official!) by John Cowan: [1] , rejected at Logfest 91: [2].

According to proposal in chapter 4.16 of The Book, fu'ivla spe'ato can be used instead. How do you like this? -- kir

spe'anto is better, IMO. --Jay

But The Book explicitely suggests CCVVCV for cultural fu'ivla! -- kir

This being a strawpoll :-) , I'm diehard behind bangrnesperanto -- nitcion Maybe banrsperanto? Being hardcore fundamentalist, I avoid this as not being canonical per the Book. ???!!! How is it not canonical? Fine: "not the default strategy suggested."

Spero all the way! - .kreig.daniyl.

Well, I'm in favour of pacnybau. --tsali

Since I think we need to jettison all cultural gismu (except "lojbo") and replace them with stage threes, Esperanto is no exception! --xod

All the ire aroused by this comment was moved here.

pe'i it is okay to keep cultural gismu and add new ones so long as the existing ones lose their rafsi (in usage or in Ideal Lojban). See Boo to cultural gismu. --And Rosta

The idea of cultural gismu is totes inconsistent, considering the nature of Lojban. However, the prefixes and suffixes are sometimes useful. - Plastic Raven
