<<The place structureof {djedi} is that of a measuring unit: x1 is x2 days long by standard x3. This does not make sense as a place structure for a dayof the week, or a month of the year; the only time we use a day of the week like that is in "a month of Sundays" (x1 is 30 Sundays long). Ipropose thatthe place structure of days of the week, days of the month, and months of the year be x1 is the Sunday of week x2, or a Sunday of month x2, etc. So: le pavyvondei be le bikyjukmasti be le relki'ona'a be'o be'o noi fagdei>> Quite true, but -- despite the way we us the rafsi – Sunday is not a djedi but a detri. We use {djedi} and{masti}, etc. to prevent confusion, since otherwise both are just numbers, again despite our best efforts to suggest other versions. As for your comment about the place in dates, I can only repeat for thenty nth time that the order in Lojban is determined by what is most likely to be left out put last, not by some abstract sense of proper order. So far nothing that has been said has changed that (and it hasall been said several times and ways).lo |
