Re: [lojban] Easy Lujvo

[tijlan <jbotijlan@gmail.com>]

For the accretive, there may be "banli" as well.

What would be the form of a lujvo that compares non-subjects? For
example, "I eat apples more than oranges".

I'm not sure about the glosses for "rodyki'i". Why is ckini2 a NU? And
what about "rodra'a" (broda zei srana)?

If the spaces in the list are meant to indicate groupings, I would
move "milxe" up into the non-relational group of "mutce" and "dukse"
(and perhaps add "carmi") and put "traji" in the relational group of
"zmadu", "mleca", "dunli", etc.

"zanbo'e", "malbo'e"... Why "a positive/derogative brode-ness" rather
than "positively/derogatively brode"? If "zabna/mabla" has to
subordinate "brode", I would consider having "brode" in a non-primary
position, not as the right-most element, i.e. "brode zei zabna/mabla".

What would be the semantic difference between "rodysi'o" (broda zei
sidbo) and "sizbo'e" (si'o brode)? Couldn't "sizbo'e" mean an -ism as
well?

"becomes [lo] broda" is what some would call a dynamic predicate: the
thematic patient (whether the subject or the object) experiences a
change of state. Its counterpart would be a static predicate: the
thematic patient experiences a steady state. "morsi", "vofli",
"jitro", "ganra"... would be static, because they don't indicate a
change in the state of their patient (morsi1, vofli1, jitro2,
ganra1...). Dynamic brivlas would include "catra", "renro", "stika",
"spoja"... because they indicate a change in the state of their
patient (catra2, renro2, stika2, spoja1) . What would be the prefix or
suffix for converting a dynamic brivla into a static brivla? For
example, "x1 is a murderer" might be more accurately represented by a
static version of "catra" (which would differ from "ca'o catra" too).
