Re: [lojban] non-volitional zukte




la kir cusku di'e

How to say "x1 is active/functions/operates/works"?
{zukte} is for volitional activity, but what if x1
is a machine or eg. a shop? I've asked on IRC, and
best option we found is {se sazri}, but I feel it is
not the answer. Any suggestions?

I have searched for that meaning before, too. Amazing
as it appears, the best answer seems to be {tolspofu}.

See

for some other oddities of that kind.
