It just happens that the textual substitution gives {mi zvati viku} =3D=3D=3D {mi vi zvati} =3D=3D=3D {viku mi zvati}, which might work. (I have not made up my mind about how to read space/time tenses in selbri that have places for position/time) Anyway, please consider the possible confusion of taking {viku} to be a sum= ti. To someone unacquainted with lojban, all evidence in the text points in tha= t direction. Particularly misleading is > 36. sy: mi zvati ma > cy: doi.sam. do zvati vaku where a sumti-question is answered with a tense. Below some random things I spotted. > 56. lo mi'a bersa cu zvati viku .i lo go'i cu barda zmadu lo vu nanla .i = se > cmene la.bil. .i la.bil. bersa mi'a .i lo go'i xabju kansa mi'a lo mi'a > zdani > .i se > cmene la.bil. la -> zo > .i lo go'i xabju kansa mi'a lo mi'a > zdani This sentence has no selbri. Maybe you wanted {.i lo go'i cu xabju kansa mi'a lo mi'a zdani}? Anyway, I am not sure {lo mi'a zdani} is a kansa3, but it is xabju2, {.i lo go'i cu xabju be lo mi'a zdani be'o kansa mi'a}. Anynyway, the simple {.i lo go'i cu xabju kansa mi'a} looks equally informative to me. > 57. cy: lo do tixnu cu zvati ma > =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 by: go'i tu .i re vu nixli cu tixnu mi'a Here you left the {tu} to denote a place, in contrast with 36. Overlooked? As I said, I actually prefer this {tu} version. By the way, why did you choose to always answer sumti-questions with a full bridi, as opposed to a simple sumti? > 72. mi nanca li civo .ije lo mi nakspe goi la.sam. nanca li cixa .i lo go= 'i > cu zmadu mi lo se nanca li re .i lo mi'a tixnu cu zmadu lo mi'a bersa lo = se > nanca li vo > zmadu3 is a dimension, so it should be {lo ka ce'u nanca makau kei}. Since this is the last utterance, and it appears to be decipherable, you might want to play with the reader and leave it like that. A more friendly alternative is to use a tanru like {nanca zmadu}, as in 56. mu'o mi'e .asiz. --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= Lojban Beginners" group.
