Here is my idea of what a dictionary entry of zmadu
should look like:
{zmadu} ({zma} {mau})
more
x1 exceeds/is more than x2 in property/quantity x3 (ka/ni) by amount/excess
x4
examples with ka
examples with ni
brodymau/brodezma : x1 exceeds x2 in property/quantity broda by amount x3
examples of lujvo usage
modal : mau
examples of modal usage
!! often the mau modal and it's relatives only modify a sumti, they should
in be attached with {pe}
I think the "modal" examples should rather be under "mau", but either
way would be fine.
Is the use of the word "modal" instead of "preposition" purely
a Lojban thing? I think the usual (non-Lojban) sense of "modal"
has more to do with what some UIs do. The only Lojban modals
that might be standard modals are {ka'e} and {ca'a}, right?
