I won’t add these words by myself, since this clearly is not my area of expertise. ;-)

I think it's unnecessary to emphasize that Higgs boson is a boson. Lengthy names are unlikely to be used by lojbanic space travellers.

That is an option for the boson of course, but what about the mechanism, the field, etc.? How do you express pure, straight Higgsness without gaining a family of fu'ivla? Besides, if we have kantrxigzo and no xigzo, why not just shorten it to xigzo anyway (along the lines of going up the types of fu'ivla, but resulting in a gismu rather than remaining a fu'ivla)? It is justifiable to have gismu space be occupied partially by fundamental constituents of reality if we can have various words for type of alcohol. Gismu can be used in compounds in ways that other brivla cannot.
Some other physical fundamentals (and not-so-fundamentals) have gismu.
The only points of contention that I can see are a lack of other gismu for the fundamental interactions (about which I have thought, trust me) and the place structure of these brivla (especially trying to obtain consistency among them). So, what place structure would you propose?
The form is attested for on the Lojban Wikipedia, by the way. I was merely recording here its usage there.
