Re: [lojban] Re: Looking down




la lojbab cusku di'e

 le gerku cu bacru fa'a le tricu

Interpretation 1 (directional)
 Orientation of event of barking: towards the tree.
 Location of event of barking: unspecified.

Interpretation 2 (locational)
 Orientation of event of barking: unspecified.
 Location of event of barking: somewhere along the line that goes
      from ???? towards the tree.

OK, given this, I understand FAhA to be locational.

We all agree that most FAhA are locational. The point we
were discussing was whether {fa'a} and {to'o} in particular
followed that pattern as well.

In that case {fa'a le tricu} is more or less meaningless, since
everywhere in the universe (at least in the connected part) is on
a line towards the tree, and the same goes for {to'o le tricu}.

And how do you indicate the orientation of the event?
