Re: [lojban] A pro-sumti for PU?
That much is actually pretty nice.
Can {nau} be a tag unto itself? I'm thinking of trying to unambiguously (which rules out {zo'e}, if you're willing to nitpick) say "now", assign that time to a variable, and then use that in subsequent discussion. A somewhat realistic example in English:
I went home. Then I went to the store, like you asked. But before all that, I went to my friend's house, where we did blah blah blah interesting stuff.
A decent way to do this, now that I think about it a little more, would probably be to use {lo tcika be lo du'u go'i} and {lo tcika be lo du'u go'e}; it would be nice to be able to readily grab these as a sentence is said and (unambiguously) store them, though.
All in all I think we've got enough here to say what I wanted.
mu'o mi'e latros.

goi ko'a", or "ca ko'a goi lo tcika be lo nu no'a", or ... make it as
precise as you like.
