Re: [lojban] sutra/masno by standard



I'm sure this has been covered in the past month (alebit not directly in this thread), but standards places are equivalent to ma'i = lo manri.  It's not an explanation of what it's doing (which might be a tai, ta'i, or ji'u place), but the standards by which it is adjudged, or the vantage point from which it is being observed (depending on the gismu in questin).  stevo has it right.

On the rare occasions I use "by standard places", they tend to be a ka that says what exactly the thing does. "Is slow in that it is going at 5 mph on the highway", that sort of thing.

Of any concept I can think of, the concept of a standard to make a
distinction between fast and slow comes to my mind; so I've been
wondering whether or not I'm missing something about fast/slow
concepts or whether or not the concept of a standard is relevant to
these terms. Was human evolution fast or slow? Is the flight of a
peregrin falcon fast or slow? Is a car riding through a school zone
fast or slow? What if it's riding at 35mph through a school zone? What
if it's riding at 35mph on a highway?
