Re: TEXT: le gunse ku joi le lorxu

In a physics astronomy dept. and he doesn't know what orbital parameters
are %^)

Hey, you don't need to be rigidly technical in what goes in there -
these are linguistic usages, and not scientific ones.  An orbital
parameter might be "lenu leni darno cu mitre li pa" if you are going
around the stove at a distance of 1 meter.

What I think is important is to exclude the metaphorical idea that, for
example, Eastern European countries were "ssatellites" of the Soviet
Union.  Unless someone can come up with a metaphorical equivalent of the
orbital parameters for a such a usage.  Often times a place structure is
defined to specifically constrain and delimit ssuch metaphors (usually
to exclude malglicoisms, that being most of the initial developer's
native language).
