Re: [lojban] Baby words: "more".

How about {zenba}?

.i xu do djica lo nu zenba lo ka (ba'o) pinxe lo ladru xokaumei
Obviously, that's way to long to be productive, but {.i .aupei ladru pinxe zenba} ?
"Do you want to increase in the property of <how much milk you have drunk>."

I don't believe one can easily determine if the current context has xo'e=1; or xo'e=0; Who decides? What is the defining criterion? If you are unsure za'u quickly becomes a synonym of su'o and we lose plural marker.

I think you could add a more explicit convention that the hidden {xo'e} is always >=1.

Then it makes sense. Although for "wanna more milk?" I'd use {aupei ve zmadu ladru} and that is unrelated to {za'u}.

0 is sufficiently special that it really should never be allowed to be hidden.
