[lojban] xoi'a

[Invent Yourself <xod@thestonecutters.net>]

Rosta, care to elaborate? I agree with the ZAhO point.


From the Wiki:

    * xoi'a? [PU]: increasing linearly over time
          * la papri xoi'a pelxu: The page is yellowing.

    * xoi'e? [PU]: exponential increasing
          * do xoi'e lojbo certu: You're learning Lojban at an exponential
rate.

    * Semantically, xoi'a/xoi'e belong in ZAhO, since they deal with
change in truth over time. For example, co'a is change from categorically
false to categorically true. xoi'a/xoi'e deal with rates of increase in
degree of truth. However, there are several possible rates of increase,
and there is also the possibility of decrease, so I think this domain of
meaning requires some more comprehensive proposal than simply these two
cmavo. --And

Before Sept. 11 there was not the present excited talk about a strike
on Iraq. There is no evidence of any connection between Iraq and that
act of terrorism.  Why would that event change the situation?
