Re: [lojban] Re: Lojbanic equivalent for Italian ciao

Huh, maybe we're taking this too far. Consider that {coi} means hello, and that {coinai} means goodbye, what does {coicu'i} mean?
Also, of course, that attitudinal string doesn't *necessarily* constitute a greeting or a parting, but in the context of coming across someone on the street as well as the context of a meeting coming to an end, I think that I might interpret it that way.

Also, it's so awfully long that no one would ever conceivably use it.

mi'e la tsani mu'o

I suppose ro'a works as well, but {.io.i'e.o'ero'aga'icu'i) is definitely not a "generic" greeting, having both a very specific meaning and being applicable as a parting.

Why emotional? Isn't social, {ro'a}, more appropriate?

io o'ero'a ga'icu'i -> generic greeting

Lojban doesn't seem to have a politeness UI, so I'm co-opting .o'e [closeness - distance] in combination with ro'i [emotional]:

.o'ero'i - emotional closeness - friends - informal
.o'ecu'iro'i - emotionally neutral - strangers - polite
.o'enairo'i - emotional distance - superiors - formal

Perhaps a simple ".io", optionally accompanied by a fist bump?

The Italians say ciao both when they greet each other and when they wanna say goodbye.

So is there any word that has two meanings, 
either {coi} or {co'o} depending on context ?
