Yes, see http://www.lojban.org/publications/reference_grammar/chapter13.html . The modifiers are resp. the {cu'i} and {nai} suffixes. Thus, the lines .a'a | attentive | inattentive | avoiding .au | desire | indifference | reluctance Mean: {.a'a} attentive {.a'acu'i} inattentive {.a'anai} avoiding {.au} desire {.aucu'i} indifference {.aunai} reluctance (Note that for some attitudinals, -cu'i is n/a.)
