I came up with {lo kabri be lo kabrylai be li pimu}, I'm not sure if it's right. Of course it could be some tanru like {xadba culno kabri}, though it sound not quite right and is as ambiguous as all tanru. So now I wonder how to say "a glass half empty" avoiding tanru ambiguity? mu'o mi'e ianek -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
