Re: [lojban] Re: Looking down




la lojbab cusku di'e

I can't keep straight which sense is which in this discussion, so I don't
know what you are asking for.  Can you give an English sentence wherein
both a directional sense and a locative sense actually make sense, so I
know what the issue is?

I can't give you an English sentence with fa'a because fa'a is
not an English word. I can give you a Lojban sentence and the
two possible interpretations:

 le gerku cu bacru fa'a le tricu

Interpretation 1 (directional)
 Orientation of event of barking: towards the tree.
 Location of event of barking: unspecified.

Interpretation 2 (locational)
 Orientation of event of barking: unspecified.
 Location of event of barking: somewhere along the line that goes
      from ???? towards the tree.
