Assuming that one wants to construe julne in the narrow sense, I agree with
most of the rest of your analysis. I am still not sure we want to be that
puritanical about gismu -- seems to me we run a risk of being so persnickety
that they lose their intended power as a primitive-concept set.
I think one thing this demonstrates is that we need a gismu corresponding to
the English word "link".
