I don't see how cmalu is more/less comparative/measured. They both
have an x3 place. But the one-dimension distinction works fine for
me.

I was reading off the gismu chart, which has {cmalu} as "compared to standard/norm x3," where {tordu} has "by measurement standard x3." I think these two notions are intertranslatable -- if different at all . So, yes, the dimensionality is probably the main thing.

Why not?

{tu'a} presupposes and environment where an abstraction clause s likely to occur and replaces that abstraction by a sumti from within. What is the abstaction generating environment here. This is just curiosity, by the way; not complaint.

Thanks. I would tend to say {pamoi ralju} but am open to arguments on that -- different underlying idions, I suspect (and mine probably English and not Lojbanically defensible).
And I would use {cimoi} rather than {romoi} just because I don't want to prejudge issues of possible dimensionality (I can see someone young being small in the temporal dimension, for example).
