some observations, suggestions, and questions

Rick,
Observations:
1)  "sentisya" - 'degree (Centigrade)' is in L21, but not in K-E. 
2)  Another modality is COOL!

Suggestions:
1)  Change "vesya"  to "kesya" - day (a unit of temporal length)
2) Change "sentisya" to "mesya" - degree/kelvin (unit of temperature)
3) Add "fusya" - gram or kilogram (unit of weight/mass)
4) Add some obvious antonyms to the dictionary: 
     bukensa - short (in time)
     bukonsa - foolish
     bumonsa - short (in length)
     buswensa - quiet (in volume)

Questions:
1) Katanda has words for 'old vs. young' (xansa/buxansa) and 'mature vs. immature' (xago/buxago), but how is 'old vs. new' expressed?
2) What happened to the traffic on this list?
