Re: [lojban] the day after tomorrow and the day before yesterday

[Jacob Errington <nictytan@gmail.com>]

Yes, there is. The gismu deep structure is wrong:

lo ka bavbavlamdei cu ka ce'u djedi gi'e lamji ce'u noi balvi *lo balvi be ce'u*

where the added on "lo balvi" is the result of tacking on the extra -bav-.

So "a day that is adjacent to an event that is in the future of the future of an event" i.e. BAD.

In fact, the GDS for bavlamdei is really messy:

lo ka bavlamdei cu ka ce'u djedi gi'e lamji ce'u noi balvi ce'u

You might as well just use {ba za re lo djedi}

My ramblings:

{lo se detri be li za'u} is an interesting solution, where the number of "tomorrows" can be indicated after the za'u:

{lo se detri be li za'ure} -> "the day after tomorrow" and {lo se detri be li za'uci} "the day after that".

If {za'u} had a lujvo, which is sadly does not, I'd propose: {za'u zei seldetri} = x1 is the event occurring on date x2 days after x3 at location x4 by caldendar x5.

Unfortunately {za'u zei seldetri} suffers from karcykla syndrome: is it days, months, weeks, years? *shrug* we can't know. Even with {lo se detri be li za'u} we can't really know to what the za'u is adding.

Is there something wrong with {bavbavlamdei} and {pruprulamdei}?
