[lojban] RE: bancu



The note on the old gi'uste:
<<
[on the other side of a bound, but not necessarily directly 'across' nor at the shortest plausible distance (per ragve); also not limited to position in space]; (cf. dukse, ragve, zmadu, kuspe)
>>

which suggests that the "exceeds" reading is not the primary one, only the most metaphorical, and the primary sense is "across the border from," without saying where that takes you (from Missouri, for example, there are half-a-dozen states to be, and I expect other places are worse).  Malsomethingorother?

The interesting question is how x4 got in there and what it is sugpposed to mean in the literal cases.
