Re: [lojban-beginners] How to use skari?

[Jonathan Jones <eyeonus@gmail.com>]

Well, I don't like the way jbofi'e parsed it, but it sounds right to me:

Intended meaning: "Greenish-blue is the colour of the ocean."
Lojban bridi: {lo cicna cu se skari lo braxamsi}
Jbofi'e parse: [1(2[skari2 (hue(s))
:] lo
any/some cicna
cyan(s))2
cu
is/does «3se skari
being hue(s)»3 (4[skari1 (thing(s) having colour)
:] lo
any/some braxamsi
big sea(s)/ocean(s)(s))4]1
(Note: I used {braxamsi} rather than {xamsi} because {braxamsi} implies that the ocean is an Earthly one (based on the comments on the words)- oceans on other planets may be different colours.)

The definition of {skari} is x1 is/appears to be of color/hue x2 as
perceived/seen by x3 under conditions x4.  The way I read that, x1 is
a colored object (i.e., an apple), and x2 is the color (i.e., red).
However, the word is apparently glossed as "color".  I would imagine
that the way to say "color", as in "favorite color" would be {selska},
since that fits with how I'm reading the place structure of {skari} in
the first place.  Am I wrong on this?  Am I right?  This is just one
of the more confusing gismu I've ran across.
