[lojban] Re: reduce

["Adam D. Lopresto" <adam@pubcrawler.org>]

Place structure is a little different, but the basic idea is in vimcu

 vimcu vic     vi'u remove
                    x1 removes/subtracts/deducts/takes away x2 from x3
                    with/leaving result/remnant/remainder x4

                    [also appropriates, confiscates; alienation is
                    inherent]; (cf. lebna, muvdu, cpacu, canci, cliva,
                    jdika)

Why inflict pain on oneself, when so many others are ready to
save us the trouble?
