I have posted a request on Metawiki for a Glosa Wikipedia, lets hope it works.

Here is the first draft of the primes. Any suggestions?

!mi !tu !uno-pe !plu-homi !ra !soma !u-ci !idem !hetero

!mo !bi !no-poli This is currently disputable. Do prefixes make sense for a prime? !panto !mega for “much or many” !boni !kako or mali? hmm, which one? !mega for “big” This will cause a problem for nsm explications. This word covers two primes. Does “mega plu kani” mean “big dogs” or “many dogs” !mikro or pusi? which one? !forti !puta !logi or ski? which one? !volu !este or sensi? !oku or vide? !audi !dice !verba !veri !akti or praxi? !acide !ki or kine or moti ? !palpa !es, es la or existe? !habe !vive !morta !tem !nu !pre !po !longi-tem !brevi-tem !no-poli tem !kron !loka !ci !supra !infra or intra? Is intra an error in the dictionary since it is also listed as inside? !tele !proxi !latu !intra !afia !ne !posi !pote !ka or kausa? !si or postula? !forti “very” is listed twice in the NSM. Are there really two primes here? One is listed as an intensifier and one an augmentor. Presumeably this implies “very” is a homophone in English for two meanings while not being so in other languages. !ma or major !speci !mero or de or mero de? I’m at a loss here completely !homo
