[lojban-beginners] grammar terms



.uanai.e'o


What are Lojban words for "tense" (time/location), "aspect", "modal",
and "place structure"?

Can tense (FAhA, VEhA, ZEhA, VIhA, VA, ZI, PU, ...) & aspect (ZAhO,
TAhE) & modal (BAI) be said to be the main categories of sumtcita?

Why were the two tense selma'os "ZI" & "PU" chosen instead of "ZA" &
"BA"? (The latter pair seem more consistent with the other tense
selma'os and easier to memorize/remember.)

Does the word "cnima'o" mean the attitudinals in general (UI1, UI2,
UI3, ...) or just UI1?
