From Lojban to English :

Type: lujvo
Gloss Word: asteroid
Gloss Word: comet
Gloss Word: dwarf planet
Gloss Word: meteoroid in the sense of "meteor or meteorite or bolide prior to entry into planetary innerspace/atmosphere"
Gloss Word: minor planet
Gloss Word: planetoid
Definition: p1 is an asteroid/meteoroid/bolide (before impact or
atmospheric entry)/comet/planetoid/minor planet/dwarf
planet/small celestial object (which nonetheless is bigger than
dust or grains of sand/particulate) revolving around p2 with
planetary characteristics p3, orbital parameters p4.
Notes: Location or orbital/trajectory characteristic does not matter
so long as the object is distinct and enduring; this is an
intrinsic property; thus, a bolide during or even after impact
or entry may still be considered a cmaplini. Cf.: solri,
terdi, lunra, mluni, bisycmaplini, rokcmaplini,
plinycma, jdikyplini.
