Re: [lojban-beginners] cacra x3

[Felipe Gonçalves Assis <felipeg.assis@gmail.com>]

Hello Paul,

Basically, yes, you can use {cacra} in lojban to refer to different timeunits
in the same way that you can use "hour" in English, the c3 being available
for specification.

In Astronomy, for example, an hour is 1/24 of a day, where day may be
defined by several slightly different useful standards (sidereal, solar,
stellar).
