I was trying to say "the 'I Ching' is a book more than 5000 years old".
The first problem I encountered is {cukta}. When we say {cukta} are we
thinking about a physical instance of a book (with its pages,
hardcover etc) or the concept is general enough to include the
abstract concept of "books"?
Then I started thinking about "age". We have a "by standard" place for
"young" and "old" which I think it's not to be used to express the
age. Then we have an experimental gismu {laldo} whose gloss suggests
it's just a word for "old" to avoid considering "old" as just the
opposite of "young".
That said I'm still uncertain on how to express something/someone age ...
Suggestions?
