Re: [lojban] "point"?



This is for Zendo, isn't it? :)


Something with farna? X te farna Y probably, with the unfilled space being the "pointing direction".


With people it might want tanruing with degji or something.

I've noticed a lack in Lojban of a word for "pointing" in the most
general sense.  Or, in fact, in many of its more specific sense.

What I'm looking for is the concept that underlies the following:

   Bob is pointing at Brenda

   Page 27 references the book Accelerando
This is more srana. This is a very different kind of pointing. I might almost go with "te tavla", as it's a sort of subject matter.

   That stick is pointing at that tree

   lojban.org links to Nick's Lojban pages
This is different yet again. Maybe even something with lasna?
