That's what we are discussing. Does the Lojban "tatpi" cover this
sense of the English "tired of" or not? Robin says that to him this
sense, let's call it "exhaust of interest", is too unrelated to the
"exhaust of strength" or even "exhaust of patience" senses to be
covered by the same word in Lojban. I say they are related enough to
be covered by the same word. The dispute is about how wide "tatpi" is,
not about what English "tired of" means.

It was my impression that Robin's argument is that {tatpi} doesn't cover "tired of", not because it is not physical, but because she's not doing anything. Being mentally exhausted from playing chess for 10 straight hours is most certainly {tatpi}, but being bored from having nothing to do, in agreement with Robin, I do not think is.
