Re: [lojban] carna, my turn.

[Sebastian Fröjd <so.cool.ogi@gmail.com>]

well, it seems useful, but still I'm rather confused.

How do you express the following examples with the new definition?

1. He did a 900° (a skateboard trick, rotation to the right in the transverse plane, person joi skateboard (xilta'o) same rotation)

2. The car rotates around me 

3. The car is spinning (around its own axis) and rotates around the moose (on the left side of the moose)

4. She did a back flip (axis her own head, rotation feet to the front) and landed lying face down

5. Tony kickflips his board 90° left in the sagittal plane, and at the same time rotates his body 180° to the right in the coronal plane

Is it even possible to describe movements like this in a convenient way with the new definition?

What's the difference between gunro and carna, except that gunro needs a surface in the 2nd place?

How about:
[ko gasnu lo nu] lo vidni cufi'u vo si'e carna lo pritu
[Make it so that] the screen turns a quarter in clockwise direction.

The x2 of si'e would be used to refer to a single complete rotation,
which I would understand to be the default value for si'e2 when used
with carna. The default could be defined as "PA si'e lo carlai be li
pa", so that PA tells us how many rotations (or what fraction of a
rotation) occur.

si'e says nothing about full rotation. It's {carna} that must do the job.

And if we assume that {carna} imples one full revolution by default then... well...
