Do you think any of the words Elgin created for Laadan filled a significant
gap?
(If you don't have the grammar, there's a sample of Laadan words at
http://www.sfwa.org/members/elgin/nativetongue/laadansampler.html
Obviously, not all of them are intended to fill gaps in English -- we already
have a word for "butterfly," for example -- but do you think any of them
would fill a gap?
