Re: [lojban-beginners] Coining a lujvo: "evidence"

gah! {oi se'i}

I meant {gi'e} in place of {ge}, I think; well, there's a reason I included the English.

{na ru'e nibli} is an interesting idea, but I have two problems with it:

The first, which you pointed out, is that it can't be made into a lujvo, but this is a minor issue.
The second is that {nibli} seems fundamentally to be the wrong word {pe'i}. I'm not sure if it's because I think of logical entailment as distinct from evidence (possibly {malgli} of me) or because it's classified in the CLL as a causal, but there's some nagging sense that it's the wrong tool for the job.

Perhaps I should have said:

 na klina = to not be transparent
 na ru'e klina = to weakly-not be transparent --> to almost be transparent

"to be not ..." sounds more like "[ja'a] na'e ...".
