irregular animal x3's

[solpahi]

Situation:
There are four animal gismu with an irregular x3. These are: tirxu, vidru, lanme, and civla.

Proposal:
Remove the x3 of those words to make all the animals equal.

Impact:
Usage breakage is imperceptible. The corpus shows zero uses of tirxu3 and five of vidru3, All the five lanme3 uses are jokes and insults. civla3 has 10 results, again including meta-jokes about the place structure.

Sorry, I meant, "usage breakage is imperceptible. English fail.

If removing lanme3 lost the concept of flocking, then you have to ask why there is no cipni3. So I don't think there is a problem there.

I think it's a little weird that {vidru} is in here since viruses are not animals. You could make an argument that a virus needs a host.

[solpahi]

{vidru} might need special consideration. It's in here because it's part of the "living thing" pattern of "x1 is a whathaveyou of species x2". Note that the old x3 doesn't specify the host, but only says what thing the virus could be infecting.

Would you object to:

ko'a vidru lo mabla gi'e ka'e .infekte lo besna
"ko'a is a virus of a horrible sort, and can infect the brain."

(btw, to specify the actual host, which the old definition couldn't do, the (experimental) gismu {parji} can help: {lo vidru poi parji lo remna} "a virus that is a parasite of humans / has humans as its host". See also the lujvo {virparji})
