Will {fancu} do? Just fine; no wonder I couldn't find it on any lujvo list. <I'm never sure what to do with its x4. The way I would use it (or at least how I would have before this discussion) is:> I suppose x4 is just the formula that defines the function, which might well have another name, so "area of a circle" would be a function and the x4 would be "pi r squared" appropriately written out. Of course if the standard way of referring to a function just is its definition then x4 is sorta useless. <le du'u makau mamta ce'u cu fancu loi danlu loi fetsi [zi'o] Who their mothers are is a function from animals to females. But I suppose pc would disapprove> Indeed he would: fill in the places and what do you get: {le du'u la elizabef mamta la djan}, a proposition. So {la du'u makau mamta ce'u} is a function from a pair of things, the first female, the second any animal, to a proposition. Not what is wanted. And I don't see how anything that starts out {le du'u} is going to end up anywhere else. |
