RE: [lojban] space tenses




la and cusku di'e

{mi klama le zarci pu'o le nu mi citka}
I go to the shop in the runup to my eating.
{mi klama le zarci ca le nu mi pu'o citka}
I go to the shop at the time of the runup to my eating.
{mi pu'o klama le zarci ca le nu mi citka}.
It is the runup to my going, at the time of my eating, to the store.

Hence my naive glossing reflects the usage you consider erroneous.

Right. Those are all officially correct glosses. I have no
problem with the last two, my problem is with the first one.
I want to read it as the third one, not as the second one.
I start from the premise that:

  <tag> broda = <tag>ku broda = <tag> <sumti> broda

(these might be strict equalities or approximations, it
doesn't matter, but they surely hold at least roughly for
all tags except for the official interpretation of
{pu'o <sumti> broda} and {ba'o <sumti> broda}. These should
be more precise forms of {pu'o broda} and {ba'o broda}, but
they get more or less the opposite meaning.
