Re: [lojban] lanzu usage

[John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org>]

xahlee.org scripsit:

> i wanted to add this word to my a word a day page, though i'm not sure how it is used. I can only think of "le lanzu [ku]" as being the noun "family".

Well, "le se lanzu" would be "the family member", and "le te lanzu" would be
"the type of family" (nuclear, extended, paternal, maternal, adoptive, etc.)


> does anyone has an example? is the word also mean category as in animal classification?

No, "jutsi" does that job.

> PS is ".i le lanzu ku" a proper lojban sentence by itself?

It's a grammatical sentenc fragment, suitable for answering a question.
