Re: [lojban] sisku (was: Re: bringing it about)




la djan cusku di'e

That works for seeking a unicorn,
or even an antelope in North America, but how about seeking
the largest prime number?  That will never be "found", but the
search is not through physical space.

Then we'd have to replace {zvati} by {du}:

       mi troci le nu dubdu'o le pi'isle namcu zmarai
       I try to know what is (instead of where is) the
       greatest prime number.

Of course, this can be made more precise with an explicit makau:

       mi troci le nu dubdu'o le pi'isle namcu zmarai makau

but that is the same for the spatial seek:

       mi troci le nu zvadu'o lo pinsi makau

co'o mi'e xorxes
