Here's my current formulation, from Revision 3.18 of the tense paper: # The four TAhE cmavo are differentiated as follows: "ru'i" covers the # entirety of the interval, "di'i" covers the parts of the interval which are # systematically spaced subintervals; "na'o" covers part of the interval, # but exactly which part is determined by context; "ta'e" covers # part of the interval, selected with reference to the behavior of the # actor (who often, but not always, appears in the x1 place of the bridi). -- John Cowan sharing account for now e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
