Re: [lojban] footnotes, etc?



Hey! .skaryzgik. is back! Hoorah!

Regarding your question, I'm pretty sure we have header and footer cmavo, but I don't know what they are nor have the time currently to look them up. Hopefully .xorxes. or Pierre or Robin can provide better information on that.

So, I've been reading a lot of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series in the last week or so, which, those if any of you who are familiar with these books may be aware, are full of footnotes. A little asterisk at the end, or in the middle, of a sentence, corresponding to one at the bottom of the page, which explains the thing immediately preceding the one above, or tells some related story. Sometimes even the footnotes have footnotes. And, since these books are also reminding me of several things I want to use lojban for, the various strands of thought tangled together and I wondered how lojban would accomplish something similar. Would we merely use parentheticals, or would something else be more appropriate?
