Any Lojbanist who spends some time with Gua\spi will sooner or later run
into words that didn't make it from Lojban to Gua\spi, much to the
regret of said Lojbanist. Whether these words are missing due to an
oversight on Jim's part, or he had some ideas about why they weren't
necessary; The fact of the matter is that they aren't there, and right
now it seems there is no easy way for the holes they leave behind to be
filled compositionally (or without inadequate levels of verbosity).

Let us collect the missing gismu here. You don't have to go out and look
for them, just add one to the list whenever you randomly meet such a
candidate.

These are the ones I've found to be missing:

xabju
makfa
stali
kanpe
foldi
lifri
gugde

Please add more if you know of any.

The Lojban gismu {kanpe}, "to expect". There doesn't seem to be a word
for it in Gua\spi. I know {kanpe} got added to Lojban later, so I expect
we'll have to do the same thing for Gua\spi.

Ah.  "kanpe" never got added to the gismu list, and I forgot that I actually took part in its creation.

"To add" (jmina) and "to remove" (vimcu) also seem to be missing!
