"Angry" as in "He seems angry" is linguistically called "adjectival
predicative of the subject", supplementing "he". This may be expressed
in Lojban as a seltau with little confusion: ko'a fengu simlu. There
is another type called "adjectival predicative of the object", as
"white" in "He painted the door white", supplementing "the door"
rather than "he". How would Lojban express this, maintaining the
exclusive relation between "the door" and "white" (which cannot be
realized with a tanru), without turning the predicative into an
argument/sumti (so no "ko'a broda lo vorme lo blabi")?
