[extropy-chat] i-language again

[Spike]

Ja.  This I-language requires work on the part of linguists
in every language to correlate to the master table, vaguely
like the Java virtual machine.  Consider this scheme to deal
with the multiple uses of the word spike.  We would use hyphens
to denote which meaning, with the goal of making each word in
the master list correspond to one word in the I-english.
