But, hye, y'all have come up with at least 13 different ways to avoid saying what you mean with {du'u} and {ka}. If one of those isn't what you want, I don't see any reason to drag yet another abstractor in to satisfy you. There are only about four left; what will you do when you can't be satisfied with them too? Sit down and agree (FC!) what you want this, that and the other thing to mean (work with {klama} to test the reasonable outer limits) and then figure out the shortest way to say the favorite, the next shortet for the next and so on, perhaps fiddling a little for the sake of an easy rule and then use that. You know what the TRUE (i.e. logical and/or hardline position is) and you know how to adapt it in various minimalist ways to variety of needs. If that doesn't work, then have a ball (the truth rarely wins in Lojban anyhow and I am so used to that I hardly bother to mention it more than once or twice a week anymore --except to snort when "the logical language" appears). |
