Hi all,
I just looked up "desk" in the "current" version of the jvoste (it is "bijyjbu") and do not think that its place structure is very user-friendly:
x1 = jubme1 (table), x2 = jubme2 (table material), x3 = jubme3 (leg), x4 = briju2 (office worker)
If I talk about a desk in an office, I am really highly unlikely to be referring to it in the context of what material or legs it has. I am far more likely to be saying that it is so-and-so's desk, and maybe after that further details about the office in which the desk appears, so I would have thought a more logical place structure was:
x1 = jubme1 (table), x2 = briju2 (office worker) x3 = briju1 (office) x4 = briju3 (office location) and then maybe x5 = jubme2 (table material - so I could say, e.g., that it is a bijyjbu be fu lo [mahogany].)
What do people think, and how would the jvoste get changed if a different consensus were reached?
