gismu / Lojban words scoring algorithm / gimyzba / lujvo splitter and generator

vlazba / gimyzba / jvozba

A Rust-based tool for generating Lojban gismu (root words) and lujvo (compound words).

Features

• Generates gismu based on input from transliterations of words in multiple languages
• Creates lujvo using the jvozba algorithm
• Customizable language weighting
• Efficient Rust implementation

Installation

1. Ensure you have Rust installed and up to date:

   rustup default stable
   rustup update

2. Clone the repository and build the project:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/vlazba.git
   cd vlazba
   cargo build --release

3. The executable will be available at target/release/vlazba

Usage

Gismu Generation

Basic usage:

./vlazba "<Mandarin> <Hindi> <English> <Spanish> <Russian> <Arabic>"

Example:

./vlazba "uan rakan ekspekt esper predpologa mulud"

Custom weights:

./vlazba -w 0.271,0.170,0.130,0.125,0.104,0.076,0.064,0.060 mandarin english spanish hindi arabic bengali russian portuguese

Lujvo Creation (jvozba)

To create lujvo using the jvozba algorithm:

./vlazba --jvozba "<word1> <word2> <word3>"

./vlazba --jvozba --exp-rafsi "<word1> <word2> <word3>"

Examples:

./vlazba --jvozba "klama klama gasnu"

./vlazba --jvozba --exp-rafsi "corci klama gasnu"

Lujvo Decomposition (jvokaha)

To split lujvo using the jvokaha algorithm:

./vlazba --jvokaha "<lujvo>"

./vlazba --jvokajha --exp-rafsi "<lujvo>"

Examples:

./vlazba --jvozba "klaklagau"

./vlazba --jvozba --exp-rafsi "cocklagau"

Options

• -w, --weights: Specify custom language weights (default: 0.347,0.196,0.160,0.123,0.089,0.085)
• -s, --shapes: Define gismu candidate shapes (default: "ccvcv,cvccv")
• -a, --all-letters: Use all available letters instead of only those in input words
• -d, --deduplicate: Path to existing gismu list for deduplication
• --jvozba: Use jvozba function to create lujvo instead of gismu generation
• --forbid-la-lai-doi: Forbid 'la', 'lai', 'doi' in lujvo when using jvozba
• --jvokaha: Use jvokaha function to split lujvo into components
• --exp-rafsi: Include experimental rafsi when generating lujvo

Debug

RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo run -- "uan rakan ekspekt esper predpologa mulud"

Background

This project is a Rust rewrite of the original gimyzba and its Python port. It aims to provide a more efficient and maintainable implementation of the gismu generation algorithm. Additionally it ports jvozba algorithm for getting lujvo creation functionality.
