E.g. {gau > ko bivbu'ijge le vi skori}. I guess, although perhaps {bivjge} would work just as well. It is not clear that the pronoun {bi bu} is closer than the number {bi} to the figure "8". Or perhaps {bivjge} suggests {jgena be bi da}? > Normally I'd call a figure 8 {me'o bi}, but {me'o} has no rafsi. {me'o bi} could presumably also be "VIII", "eight", "bi" or any other expression that refers to the number eight, but I suppose "8" is the most likely one. (Would a {bivbu'ijge} be different from a {ci'i bu zei jgena}?) mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
