Let's put all sensory aspects into one table.These are the predicate that we might get (I will give them temporary names in curly brackets).{HEAR} - x1 hears object(e.g. musician)/event (e.g. concert) x2, listens to it and defines x2 as x3 (noisy, loud, sweet, lovely, romantic etc.){SEE} - x1 sees object/event x2, looks at x2 and defines it as x3 (green, that it looks ugly etc.){SMELL} - x1 smells object/event x2, observes x2 and defines it as x3 (e.g. flowery,pungent, musk){TASTE} - x1 tastes object/event x2, observes x2 and defines it as x3 (e.g. tasty, sweet,sour){TOUCH} - x1 touches x2, observes (tries) x2 and defines it as having texture x3 (e.g. rought)As you can see we actually need valsi with three places. "observe" is a variation of each predicate that can be best expressed using additional {jundi} or {zgana} as xorxes suggested.This scheme is consistent. The only problem is that it doesn't correspond to the current mess of sensory gismu.The only gismu that corresponds to this scheme is {te panci}.{sumne} is a superfluous gismu.{te tirna} is something that we can also place in every sensory gismu.{vrusi} overlaps the senses of taste and smell.This is something that definitely needs revision.We have five senses and we must clearly express what we feel.Currently Lojban lacks such power (except in the case of {te panci}).Addition.{te jvinu} also follows this pattern (thanks xorxes for noticing!){te skari} also follows this pattern.However, tirna3, viska3 and skari4 can be easily expressed using {va'o}.In order to reach maximum compatibility with the current gimste I can also suggest mergin x2 and x3 in my previous proposal getting
Alternate proposal{HEAR} - x1 hears object(e.g. musician/sound)/event x2 (e.g. mi tirna lo nu balzgibende cu cladu){SEE} - x1 sees object/event x2 (mi viska lo du'u lo tricu cu crino){SMELL} - x1 smells object/event x2 (mi sumne lo nu lo xrula cu cpina){TASTE} - x1 tastes object/event x2 (mi me'oi TASTE lo nu lo plise cu titla){TOUCH} - x1 touches x2 (mi me'oi TOUCH-FEEL lo nu lo sefta cu rufsu)
I also suggest that x2 in all 5 sensory gismu can be both an object and an event, thus allowing sumti-raisingso that we can saymi tirna lo balzgibendemi tirna lo cladumi tirna lo nu balzgibende cu cladu
--We have no gismu for TASTE ( {vrusi} has no place for experiencer) and TOUCH-FEEL ({pencu} is now what we need. when i touch {ko'a} with a screwdriver i touch-feel the screwdriver but touch {ko'a} ).We would also need to allow in {sumne2} not only the object being smelled but the type of smell and abstraction for the combination of the object and it's smell.On Sunday, July 15, 2012 12:37:26 AM UTC+4, Robin Powell wrote:On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 01:32:54PM -0700, djandus wrote:

I linked to the thread on the gismu issues page, a few hours ago.
