conceptually related gismu

[Logical Language Group <lojbab@ACCESS.DIGEX.NET>]

I haven't checked lately on the ftp site, but there have been 3 independent
efforts at classifying the gismu according to a Roget-like thesaurus
classification.  At least one of these used to be up on the ftp site
as file roget.txt in the lang-design subdirectory.  That is probably
Athelstan's work, with other efforts done by Cowan and Carter.

The clssification field in the gismu list is a set of codes for ordering
according to word frequency, to get a non-random, non-alphabetical ordering
for study.  If you sort, i think descendingly, you will get words in a fairly
useful order for study.  There was also a set of codes relating to the old

textbook file order, but it doesn;t match the current version of the draft
textbook, hence is relatively useless.

The 8th field that Richard Kennaway refers to is specifically the non_logFlash
portion of the dictionary entry for the word.  The gismu cross-references
 therein constitute a 4th version of a semantic netwrook covering the language,
 though
it was done far less systematically than the Roget-like efforts.  Grepping
for any word in the gismu list will, however, give you a host of words
related to that word, because of the cross-referencing.
