Re: [lojban] Klingon proverbs in Lojban

I don't think so.  {lo krefu} is AN occurrence (the x3rd occurrence to be precise) of recurring event/activity/recurring-thing x2.

So {lo krefu nuncitka} is an "occurrence type-of eating event".  Theoretically it shouldn't REALLY work for "again" just because it could be {lo krefu be fi li pa}

I was just about to send a message about using krefu.  Whether it's right or not, I've seen and use myself the form {mi krefu citka} for things like "I eat again".

 

That was my first thought, too, with "krefu", but then it seemed to mean (using your example) "I eat again and again" (i.e., recurringly), which is not quite what I wanted.

za'ure'u - that's what it was in Alice.

Pierre

Does "za'u re'u" already contain the idea of 'time' or 'occurrence'? It seems to be just an ordinal number meaning 'further', 'additional'.

 

Does this work:

za'u re'u gunta fa la veklarg

 

I also found "krefu", but I don't know if/how "krefu" can be used to get the meaning of 'again'.
