Mapping: Ithkuil → Lojban ​

Ithkuil lexicon and grammar mapped to Lojban (gismu, cmavo, lujvo, proposed forms).

Every New Ithkuil lexicon root, one row per Stem×Specification (S1–S3 × BSC/CTE/CSV/OBJ when present; string stems as Sn.BSC).

Lojban matches from its dictionaries (glosswords + definitions); CLL cited where relevant.

Status: ✅ HAVE · 🧪 HAVE (experimental) · ❌ GAP · 🔗 SEE (alias root)

Method: Lensisku semantic search (min cosine 0.55); curated overrides kept where marked. Prefer gismu/cmavo. Taxa/diseases/elements often remain ❌ GAP → fu'ivla.

17,121 rows across 83 lexicon files + addtonally the grammar.

Semantic search status ​

Root chapters remapped with Lensisku /api/jbovlaste/semantic-search (cosine similarity floor 0.55).

  • ✅ HAVE — top hit(s) ≥ floor; Lojban column lists ranked words with scores in the comment.
  • ❌ GAP — best similarity below floor (or empty query). Comment shows Lensisku semantic GAP (best sim X.XXX < …) plus the query used — use these to triage gaps.
  • Search text strips (see ROOT) aliases and the word “Ithkuil” to avoid false friends.
