I was reading a discussion about how to express the days of the week (By the way has there been any consensus yet about how to name them?), and this led me to realize that there were still many things I did not understand about time expressions. =A0Below are some questions I have: 1. Do ba'o and pu'o imply "shortly after" and "shortly before" or "any time after" and "any time before"? 2. =A0Can "ZA" tag points in time? =A0If so, do these points indicate the reference for the distance expressed by "ZA"? =A0I read something on a "checkpoint" or "proposed checkpoint" that seemed to say something different. 3. Where does it say that the meaning of MOI can go beyond expressions of time and include such meanings as " mi moi =3D "mine"?=A0=A0 =A0 =A0=A0=A0 --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= Lojban Beginners" group.
