[lojban] definition of si'e

[guskant <gusni.kantu@gmail.com>]

The definition of si'e is inconsistent with its usage. According to
the Complete Lojban Language Chapter 18 (and also to jbovlaste), si'e
is defined as:
   x1 is an (n)th portion of mass x2.
The example shows however that si'e itself does not imply fi'u (an (n)th):
   11.8)    levi sanmi cu fi'ucisi'e lei mi djedi cidja
       This-here meal is-a-slash-three-portion-of my day-food.
       This meal is one-third of my daily food.
Guessing from the example, the definition of si'e must be:
   x1 is n times portion of mass x2.
n is a positive real number or 0, or may be simply a real number. I
can't imagine the case that n is a complex number, but it might be
mathematically possible.
