Comment #1: Irregular place structure for no apparent reason
Wuzzy (Sat Nov 30 21:50:11 2013)

While I like the word in general, I do not like the order of its place
structure. Why does the defining property come before the superset;
“klulei” just flipped the order from klesi. For no apparent reason. It
might be confusing to remember the lujvo’s definition.
Since this is a symmetrical lujvo, the tertau places should come in the
order of “klesi” until its places run out. See
<http://dag.github.io/cll/12/5/>.

This is easy to fix:
I created a new definition in which the place structure is in the same
order as for its tertau “klesi”.

Okay. I flipped them in this case because I thought the defining trait was
more importnat than the outer culture, which can be very nebulous.

I created this term in an effort to describe fandoms of various media that
have grown to such an extent as to be called a "subculture", but it is
difficult to pin down to what culture they are supposed to be a subset of
exactly.

I realize now that it is easier to describe them just using kulnu, and
save klulei for when the outer culture is less murkily defined.

Now that we have sorted that out, I think “klulei” is a good lujvo.

It’s useful to express that a culture _is_ a subculture. But its equally
true to say that all subcultures are cultures.

Now I don’t see anything wrong with the lujvo; it is clearly defined,
useful and the place structure is regular: The way lujvo should be. :-)

Thanks a lot for the help. This was my first addition to the list and so I
was a bit nervous.
