RE: [lojban] Tidying notes on {goi}


la and cusku di'e


Here you hit on one of my logical peeves with Lojban. In my own loglan,
you have to say not "ci da poi prenu cu klama" but (the equivalent of)

   da poi ke'a ci mei ku'o ro de poi ke'a me lu'a da zo'u
   de ge prenu gi klama


But those two are not equivalent. Your version does not preclude
there being a fourth person that goes.


And this then makes "ci da poi prenu cu prami re lu'a le cimei"
come out with greater clarity as:

   da poi ke'a ci mei ku'o
   ro de poi ke'a me lu'a da ku'o
   da xi re poi ke'a re mei ku'o
   ro de xi re poi ke'a me lu'a da xi re zo'u
   de xi re ge me lu'a da gi se prami de


Again, I think that means {su'ocida poi prenu cu prami su'ore
lu'a le su'ocimei}.


Of course, Lojban makes this impossibly verbose (tho in my loglan it takes
only 10-12 short words).


When do we get a peek at your loglan?
