Q: Why does Lojban dictionary have not the word "Stoic"?
A: Because Lojban is a logical, constructed, human language created by the Logical Language Group which aims to be syntactically unambiguous.

Assuming that by LLG you mean languages (and not Lesser Linux God or Liberty London Girl / and if I'm wrong please correct me) , I would answer that in Lojban the same word may be a verb (as you understand it in English) or a name.
For example, 'tavla' = 'speaks to', and 'le tavla' = 'speaker'.
I'm sure that as a programmer you completely understand this syntatic unambiguosity as completely different from: 'and submit without complaint to the unavoidable necessity by which all things are governed'.
That said, I consider your answer a very valid reasoning - I mean, for a stoic. (LOL ;) · 1 year ago
"Stoic" as defined in Websters (1828) is:
"A disciple of the philosopher Zeno, who founded a sect. He taught that men should be free from passion, unmoved by joy or grief, and submit without complaint to the unavoidable necessity by which all things are governed."
Now ofc this is a very old definition, but one could argue that a name (which implies behavior associated with the name), such as, "Google it" (verb [with object]) is considered English (slang, but it's accepted) even though Google isn't a verb, it's a name. LLG can't restrict names from their lang. <3
Stoic seems very logical (LOL) · 1 year ago
