There are also the basic sumti expressing self contained concepts
Since Chinese is a logogram, let us try to express the predicate root words gismu, گِسمُ, гисму, गीसमू, 닛무 in chinese logograms 汉字. This allows for the possibility that the writting becomes universal. There are approximately 1350 and more than 3000 chinese characters which allows for the matching of the rough concepts, however this would require that the speaker memorizes both the meaning and pronunciation of each gismu independently making the language heavily dependent of the previous knowledge of chinese. In order to avoid this, we will construct the gismu using basic self explanatory chinese characters not following the chinese rules in order to dramatically reduce the number of characters to be memorized. On the other hand, we will also construct the lojban words based on these characters also dramatically reducing the number of gismu to be remembered. The basic words to be matched will follow the proposed 120 concepts from toki pona language which aims for a minimum vocabulary. In this way, we will use toki pona basic concepts with lojban gismu using chinese characters to describe the relations. The gramatical particles cmavo from lojban will be written using writing system.
gismu la sutysisku, lͣ sͥtͮsͥskͧ, لَ سِتْسِسكُ, ला सीतृसीसकू, лa ситъсиску, 라 시트싯구 汉字 chinese radicals
The concepts are ordered by development requierements for animals and humans

Let us consider the most basic concepts on an evolutionary and human basis. Concepts need brains and brains coordenate movement and process sensorial inputs. Evolutionarily, senses are required for movement and not the other way around. The first sense temperature sensation since all organisms need to keep temperature betweens set levels for the proper funcitonning of the chemical reactions that sustain life. A option for logogram for cold is ice, since water below livable temperature freezes and vapor for hot for the anaolgous reason.
囦 is cold by [standard]; lenku(lek, lenk)
泶 is hot by [standard]; glare(gla, glar)
The next sense is related to the organism needs. Water is essencial and purely drinking was the first for of absorbing the needed ingredients to keep the organism fed.
水 drinks/imbibes/consume [liquid] from [source]; pinxe(pix, pinx)
Also the densing of chemicals is important to guide organisms to food or danger.
禾 is odor/scent/smell [from] detected by [sensor]; panci(pan, panc)
Knowing the direction of gravity is also paramount.
上 is vertically upwards [from] in [gravity/frame of reference]; gapru(gap gapr)
