[lojban-beginners] Re: ok, lambda/currying-geeks needed (was Re: Re: "Once More")
Another is that it's constructed from a list of English emotions -- one
of the first things I wanted to write/say was an attitudinal to replace
"the tone of voice you have when revealing a great secret", and of
course, non exists.
Maybe {bi'u}, {bi'u sai}?
Maybe. Combining bi'u with a "secrecy"-attitudinal would cover it.
There's {.i'u nai}.
Yes! Or variants like ui.uunairu'e
or ennui
{.u'i nai}?
I don't like this one so much; the distinction between weariness and
ennui is something I'd like to keep.
Maybe it can be done with UI4 but that still makes a sapir-whorf-y
connection between them (similar to the love/hate problem).
I've used {.u'e nai} for a certain kind of ennui.
righteousness,
{.u'u cu'i}?
Maybe. I'm looking for the word for the feeling of "We're doing the
Right Thing here!"
vu'e
In reply to another message, isn't it possible to put the attitudinal after a
gadri to modify the whole sumti, instead of after the terminator? That is,
{le po'o gerku} being the same as {le gerku ku po'o}.
