Re: [lojban] What is the x3 of tubnu?

[Jonathan Jones <eyeonus@gmail.com>]

Ah, yes. I must have glossed over the x2 bit. I thought it was something else. In that case, I would suppose that the x3 is what is currently occupying the hollow region of the tube, such as water in plumbing, similar to the x2 of botpi. Further, I would guess that the reason for the awkwardness of its phrasing is due to the uncommonness of the concept attempting to be expressed in English.

I disagree, since that makes x2=x3.

I suspect it's intended to be a place that is never filled but allows
you to describe what has been bored out as lo te tubnu, but this
doesn't actually seem like an especially useful thing to have done so
perhaps it is something subtler that I'm not seeing.
