Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: Tenses in abstractions




e.g. {mi pu citka vi lo
xamsi} "I ate near the ocean" (who cares where that ocean is in relation to
where we are now).  How would you say that if {vi} marks how far away from
the origin you are?

   mi pu citka ne'a lo xamsi

I'm curious, under your proposal is there a *general* way to specify the
origin?  The FAhA are all well and good, but it seems like if there's a way to
say "I ate 100 meters from [the origin]", it would be really nice to be able
to specify the origin, without needing a particular direction.
