Lojban language has been liberated.

Lojban language has long suffered from having root words each representing a mishmash of sounds from words with similar meaning in 6 major languages of the world. E.g. take  meaning "wind". A computer algorithm created it by mixing Chinese "fen" and English "breeze". What is more can mean both "wind" and "breeze". In other words you get words that neither sound like words in the source languages, nor have the same meaning as in the source languages.

Sooner or later Lojban community had to deal with this case. The solution, which enters into force today, has long been expected.

The whole lexicon of Lojban is recreated by direct borrowing from root languages. If a word in the source language has the form that Lojban morphology allows for then the word is borrowed as it is pronounced without any magical tricks.

E.g. from now on the Lojban word for "sticky" is .... . It sticks in one's mind almost immediately.

Or take the new Lojban word for "work". It's  and pronounced as Spanish (just without the final "r"). You no longer have to work hard to memorize Lojban words. And ? It means "asshole", you bastard.

The word for "breeze" is now  and it means "breeze" only, not just any kind of wind.

Hey, French speakers! In your language  means "very cold" whereas in Lojban it means "very hot". No more worries. Since now in Lojban can mean both "hot" and "cold" depending on context.

As you can see from the table below some core concepts have several candidate forms. And some concepts don't have new forms. Missing forms will be created by Lojban community during the following year. And you can help this process! Make your proposals now, and who knows maybe your proposal will win.

So that's it. The whole lexicon of Lojban is set free. Take a gulp of fresh air that is now breezing through semantic space.
