Discussion of "gratula"

gratule.

Usually I put -e at the end since -a in SAE words is sometimes associated
with feminine and -o with masculine. To be neutral I use -e. However, this
has to be considered manually in each case.

ua I didn't find gratule when I searched for "congratulate" in the
dictionary. I think there's a typo in the definition of gratule, if I'm
not mistaken the correct English term is "congratulate", and not
"congratule".

Besides, I don't think Lojban words should be constrained by SAE's
expectations. :)

I can be only concerned with spanish and portuguese speakers that expect
their words to have gender and thus ma'a might consider clearly show a
neutral vowel.
