Re: [lojban] How to translate special emphasis on a word ("terming")

2011/8/9 Felipe Gonçalves Assis <felipeg.assis@gmail.com>

What about {lo co'e preti}? {lo pa preti}?

In some languages, capitalization is used to indicate that an expresison is
being used in a more specific meaning. So there are, e.g., questions and
Questions, which are a particular kind of question the author is talking about.
In a more extreme case, there are questions and The Question.

If that is the situation, a way of vaguely pointing the specificity
would be with
a tanru with an unspecific seltau, or maybe a lujvo.

Another way is to use the cardinality as a vague way of indicating the group of
special things you are talking about. {le ci nolraitru} -> The Three Kings.

What do you think?
