coi rodo,

I am currently playing with the idea of tanru and fu'ivla.

Would you say a "Philips screwdriver" is kucylupcartci ?

Another question : a tanru mixes two notions X and Y in a (X & Y)
(which is, indeed, primarily a Y which has X-ness)

But suppose I want to speak of a (X & Y & Z)... ?   *not* of a (X & (Y
& Z)), nor of a ((X & Y) & Z), but of a (X & Y & Z), without assigning
any precedence in the way the notions are mingling together ?

Put in another words, suppose I want to talk about a pretty little
girls' school while remaining deliberately ambiguous ?

[this can be useful even without any malign intention : there are a
lot of old books with ambiguous X's Y's Z constructs, and if we want
to translate them into Lojban we need to keep the ambiguity as it is]
