[lojban] directions
Currently we have a set of gismu (berti, stuna, snanu, stici) and a set of
tense markers (be'a, du'a, ne'u, vu'a) for denoting directions. The gismu can
be made into lujvo, so we can say {le bloti cu bersicyberberti le gusydi'u}
"the boat is north by east of the lighthouse", but how do we say "the boat is
going east northeast"? Then there are directions in degrees, minutes, and
seconds, such as {li nyxacipi'erexapi'enoxavy farna le fanmo le krasi be le
nu caxmati xirma klama} (that one comes up in my CAD drawings because of
roundoff error). How do we use one of those as a selbri or as a tense?
