[lojban] Re: 'Solve & coagula' in lojban?

[Kosmaton <Kosmaton@gmx.com>]

Thanks a lot Jacob and .arpis for explaining these aspects! I am now
tending to just paint {selfedjo'e} on the boat (would you include the
curly braces?), and refer to her as {la selfedjo'e}. It is more
compact than the longer imperative phrase, and if I get it right the
meaning is 'being split and joined', which is good.

Of perhaps just {fedjo'e}. That's even shorter and avoids confusion
with 'self' in English. And I'm happy to leave it open whether things
are being split and joined, or doing the splitting and joining - maybe
both at once. Or is such ambiguity frowned upon in the lojban ethos?

I think {fendi} captures the meaning better than {runta}, but just out
of interest, how would you form the compound word with {runta}? I
gather that for {fedjo'e} you stuck the two relevant rafsi together
(just from scanning what jbovlaste says), but no rafsi is listed for
{runta}.

Thanks again!
