Can anybody let me know the shortest way of saying 'a square
is a rectangle with equal sides'? (Imagine a Grade 1 math lesson
in Lojbanistan).
It seems to me that that is impossible as {lo kurfa} is supposed
to mean 'a two-dimensional right-angled shape/form' but in
common usage has become 'square'. Using the NORALJV
lujvvo for 'square', I would make it:
{lo kubykurfa cu kurfa poi loi korbi cu dunli simxu le ka clani}
mi'o mi'e .andrus.
