Re: [lojban] searching

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

Yeah, I wasn't looking for a "we should change lojban suck that..." sort of thing.  I assumed there was some solution.

Just kind of sucks that it's very easy for me to say "I am looking for a green thing in my dresser" (mi sisku lo (ka?) crino lo seldacru).  But for "I'm looking for my keys", I've either got to spend half the day spelling it all out, or I guess selkik's tanru works  tolerably well "mi troci co zvafa'i lo mi ckiku"

I guess it just seems like an unfortunate definition for sisku given how easy it is to add an object-by-property aspect to the searching.  i.e.  "mi sisku lo creka poi crino" or even "mi sisku lo crino creka".

meh, it is what it is.

{ro zo'e ne lo mi zdani} distributes, which is bad, so we need to make
it into a mass/set:
{loi ro zo'e ne lo mi zdani} is better, but you could probably use {lo
zdani} outright as a sisku3, in which case you're considering the
house to be a mass/set of all the places within (because xorlo).
