Re: [lojban] baby words: position/shape, or something.

[vitci'i <celestialcognition@gmail.com>]

Some more English glosses: posture (for humans and other animals);
gesture (for a ko'a or change in ko'a that expresses something).

In the general case, when a device or object has movable parts, the ko'a
of the object is the current state to which those parts are moved. For
example, this could express the state of a mechanical light switch (but
not of a light bulb), or the position of the hands of an analog clock
(but not the activatedness of the display segments of a digital clock).
