Re: [lojban] Re: Alice - the xorlo version

[Jonathan Jones <eyeonus@gmail.com>]

So, thesaurus.com gave me the following synonyms for "bored", I've provided jbovlaste entries for those words that have them:

blasé, disinterested {nalci'i}, dull, fatigued {kamtatpi} {tatpi}, inattentive {.a'acu'i} , sick and tired, spiritless, tired {tatpi}, turned off

In the context of Alice being tired of sitting around doing nothing, I would say {nalci'i} or similar would be most appropriate.
