Ideally they should be as homogeneous as possible, but since they are
from so many different authors it's no surprise that there are variations.

I did try to make them at least a little bit more homogeneous. We'll see.


    In any case, let's please vote on the entire supersection of spatial
    tenses (with one vote per section). I'll add polls to the pages. How
    long does the vote last? I suggest 1 week. (btw, if nobody is
    interested in voting any longer, then better to say so right away)


lojban.org <http://lojban.org> seems to be down at the moment, but I'll
go vote when it's up again.

That's great. Sadly, since it's already midnight now I'll have to wait until tomorrow before I can add the polls.

I haven't had a chance to read your possible explanations yet, but I do
interpret those two as "fi'o se sruri". "lo nu la .alis cu limna cu
sruri zo'e" and "lo nu lo prenu cu catlu cu sruri zo'e". The event of
swimming / event of looking takes place around some undetermined point.
The spatial location of a swimming event is more or less clear. The
spatial location of a looking event is not so clear, but presumably it
includes the locations of the looker and the lookee, and possibly the
space in between.

Yes, that's how it tends to work for FAhA. The question is just in what way "looking" can surround anything. I'd say it could work if the point of the "looker" is surrounded by a circle of the things being looked at. Another question on the page is what portion of a "circle" is needed around a thing for it to count as being surrounded.

Let's hope that lojban.org comes back up soon.
