From nsn Sat Mar 6 22:44:36 2010 From: nsn (Nick Nicholas) Subject: Re: old gismu comments To: lojbab@grebyn.com (Logical Language Group) Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1993 02:46:04 +1000 (EST) Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mozilla-Status: 0011 Message-ID: The Seraphim surely rejoiced when Logical Language Group spoke thus: }>i don't think i can argue for this convincingly, but i'd like the x2 of }>traji to be the current x4 of traji, by symmetry with zmadu }traji is much more related to mutce and milxe, than to zmadu Hm. I think this another case of semantic drift; in any case, I was under the impression that the new gihuste, with places revised by John, actually contains a revised traji. It still intuits to me that the set is more important than the quality in traji, rather than milxe, and I have a vested interest in having traji symmetrical with zmadu (it makes the place structure of superlatives, whether lujvo or expanded, parallel that of comparatives). None the less, if you're convinced this new place structure is wrong, I can't offer any more convincing arguments against reverting to the original. --- 'Dera me xhama t"e larm"e, T Nick Nicholas, CgS & CS, Melbourne Uni Dera mbas blerimit | nsn@munagin.ee.mu.oz.au (IRC: nicxjo) Me xhama t"e larm"e! | Milaw ki ellhnika/Esperanto parolata/ Lumtunia nuk ka ngjyra tjera.' | mi ka'e tavla bau la lojban. je'uru'e - Martin Camaj, _Nj"e Shp'i e Vetme_ | *d'oh!*
