Re: [lojban-beginners] precise tenru



2014-09-24 19:45 GMT+04:00 TR NS <transfire@gmail.com>:
So the seltau and tertau of a tenru

tanru, not tenru.
 
have an ambiguous (aka metaphorical) relationship

i'd say just vague.
 
that is left to the reader/listener to determine (by convention and context). But what if one wanted to be more specific. e.g. from example 5.2.8 of the CLL:

    klama jubme

A number of possible interpretations are given. The first and most obvious is "a-goer type-of-table". What if I wanted to make that interpretation quite clear so there could be no other interpretation? I can't say:

    klama .e jubme

b/c that would mean a "a goer and a table". I want to say in effect "x is a goer and x is a table". How to do that?
