[lojban-beginners] Re: Chapter 12, Lujvo in pre-existing lujvo

[la durka <durka42@gmail.com>]

In short: yes, and it's the same procedure you already know.

Lujvo are made of rafsi, so getting the rafsi is not a problem. In the simple case, you can just glom the lujvo together. Consider the lujvo {jungau} = "to tell/make known". Now let's make a lujvo for a person who does that -- maybe it means a town crier, or an incorrigible gossip. So this will be a lujvo from {jungau prenu}. All we have to do is choose a rafsi for {prenu} and stick them together: {jungaupre}. (Or {jungauprenu}, or {djunygaupre}, etc... by definition they are all the same word.)

Potential complications:
- When making long tanru, you put in {ke ... ke'e} as necessary to get the grouping right. These will sometimes show up in long lujvo as well.
- You have to watch out for tosmabru. But you have to do that when making lujvo out of gismu anyway.

(ta'o there is apparently already a lujvo for DNA, and it's made from gismu: {ginxu'i}, from {jgina xukmi}.)

Lojban allows on to make lujvo from pre-existing cmavo, and gismu.

For the sake of cognitive efficiency, is there a way to make new lujvo from cmavo, gismu and

pre-existing lujvo?  I do not think this is allowed, since we do not know the rafsi for the newly

created lujvo.

For example, suppose I wish to create deoxyribonucleic acid lujvo.

First create lujvo for an acid (chemistry), then an OH group (organic chemistry), then nucleotide (biology), ...

you get the idea.

Now, combine these lujvo results into a new lujvo.

I could generalize this procedure to mathematics, electrical engineering, theater, and so on.

Thanks.
