Re: [lojban] Metaphoric usage

[pycyn@aol.com]

While maikl's offerings are often metaphoric -- as well as idiosyncratic -- 
to the point of marginal intelligibity, the present case is about as close to 
literal as a tanru can get, namely is one of the recognized regular formats.  
In this case it is the collapse of the second place into the modifier 
position with reductions: from vlipa lenu pilno to pilno vlipa.  I take it to 
mean pretty close to "use-full" in fact.  This case does not even have the 
usual concealed intentional context.
