[lojban] Extensibility of vocatives (do'a non-selbri)
It all started with the simple question of someone asking me if {nicte xamgu} was a valid translation of "Good night."
Sometimes, going off the deep end is fun.
I recognize (or at least understand it to be the case) that selbri are as extensible as I could possibly want them.
Since selbri can be converted into sumti, sumti are also as extensible as I could want.
Is there a way that I can express a vocative which is a night parting? A water parting? A death parting?
Is {ze'ei} the accepted way to do this, and are {nicte ze'ei co'o}, etc. valid uses?
