Re: [lojban] Rant (baby related): dasni, taxfu, and all their friends.



Assuming we were to rewrite these to include a "worn by ..." place, I'd rather shove it into the x2 and move the current "of material ..."  to x3.

And, yeah, that's just weird. Who's responsible for this mess? :D

Also, cutci is even more annoying, IMO.

AFAICT, *NONE* of the clothing words have a place for "being worn

to list all of them.

{taxfu} has such a place, but it's ... umm, I'm not sure what that
tense is called; intentional or something?, but it's a place for the
sort of person that *could* wear the thing, not the person that
actually *is* wearing it.

This means the *only* way to talk about people wearing clothing is
with {dasni}.

WTF is the point of having place structures if I can't say {mi te
pastu}?

:P :P :P
