The official baselined list of [[gismu|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|gimste]], shouldn't it? At least, [[jvocu'adju|jvocu'adju]] (from the [[jbofi'e|jbofi'e]] distribution) says that ''gimste'' has a better score (5878) than ''gimste'' (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 gimste if they want to, and still others will say gismu liste. ''FWIW, I prefer ''gimste''. 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|ma'oste]]''. --pne''

I use ''gimste''. According to [[the Book|the Book]], alternate [[rafsi|rafsi]] choices in a [[lujvo|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|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|jezrax]]''
