I think a tanru could work in many cases. Indeed "A meta-x1 is an x1 of-type x1." looks very much like the definition of a tanru.

eg meta-mathematics = a maths about maths = cmaci cmaci = cmaci be lo cmaci
meta-question = a question type of question = preti preti = preti be lo preti

mu'o mi'e ros.

In English, a meta-question is a question about questions.
A meta-puzzle is a puzzle using puzzles as clues.
A meta-x1 is an x1 of-type x1.

Is there a way of expressing such a concept in lojban?  It seems that a tanru is insufficient.
