Re: [lojban-beginners] On "by standard x"



  In the particular gismu you cite, I would say "standard of judgment"

One of the many things about lojban which puzzle me lately
are all these "by standard x" places.

Take {fenki} for example which is defined as

x1 (action/event) is crazy/insane/mad/frantic/in a
frenzy (one sense) by standard x2

Given that definition, what does {tu'a ko'a fenki mi} mean?

Does it mean ko'a is crazy in my opinion,
or does it mean ko'a is crazy when compared to me?

Phrasing it differently, which standard
do these places represent: A standard of _judgement_
or a standard of _comparison_?
