I know. Hence the notes.

I intentionally didn't.

I know.

What's the point?

peisku is already there, the definition is basically the same. pensku
seems to be redundant, also misleading because of its rafsi.

Also, why intentionally abusing the meaning of rafsi? I cannot see any
good reason for abusing the system here, especially since this word adds
nothing new.

Testing the waters.

Maybe I don't know what you are up to and what your goals are, but have
you asked the mailing list before you start to intentionally coin
questionable/weird lujvo? ;-)

I am sure this is going to be a controversial thing.

Just this one lujvo.

It is very controversial. I expect to get flamed and insulted, as I've
already been. :)

Well, I wish I agreed that this was good idea, but anyway I upvoted
pensku back into positives because I can't wait to see where this goes.
Let's not attack anyone for their ideas!

Thanks. I'm only trying to get a discussion going, no more, no less.

Selpa'i still has not made his intentions clear.
Selpa'i still has not brought a single argument here defending the
practise of intentionally breaking the rafsi meaning.
Pensku is redundant and misleading. Being there “to test the waters”,
this word certainly has no place in a printed dictionary.

And this is the last thing I want to say about this on Jbovlaste, please
go to the mailing list if you still insist on this word or want to discuss
this in detail (jbovlaste is not really well suited for long discussions).

(You can use that argument when we get to making a printed dictionary, and
then we'll have to erase a lot more than just this one word)

(I'm not here to "insist" on anything. Although technically everyone is
allowed to define words as they wish)

I didn't intend to discuss this here; there is already a discussion going
on on IRC (and it's by far not the first one about this topic). Others are
discussing it, and that's the whole point.
