No.1533  

I'm a computer programmer, and got mixed up with the wrong crowd!
In the depths of my ignorance, {setinbe} would seem to almost make a passable word for "program". Mainly because it was the only word I could find that had that "giving orders x_2" anywhere involved. What with orders or commands being the usual stuff that goes into source code. In most languages. But we usually don't really call them "commands" as such . . .
See why I wish I had a word for it?

You're the second person to ask this. It's "sampla". Use http://vlasisku.lojban.org/ and http://lojban.org/tiki/conversation+guide if you need to find vocab that's not on the gimste. You should also get on the lojban maling list on google groups if you don't like the current word and would like to discuss other options.

Thanks! As a matter of fact, I don't like it much, but I can't think of a better way to phrase it, really. And I don't feel too contentious as such a late-comer to a community of a couple hundred. And besides, it's not like the derivation of "program [verb]" is that reasonable either. From "itinerary [noun]" to "compose a sequence of commands [totally a verb clause]"? I'm just glad {sampla} takes less than four words to express.
Thanks again!
