[lojban] So about {jarco}



{jarco}
x1 (agent) shows/exhibits/displays/[reveals]/demonstrates x2 (property) to audience x3.

[reveal (= tolmipygau, mipyja'o, sivja'o); also: x1 shows that x2, x1 shows off x2; showing an object is generally expressed with a tu'a x2, since the properties of the shown object (other than its presence) intended for observation are seldom specified (simple presence could be expressed by leka Object. cu zvati)]; See also tigni, cipra, zgana, jvinu, lanli, mipri, simlu.


1.For me {jarco} means "x1 manifests it's property x2 (ka) to x3"
There is another proposal
2. {jarco} could mean "x1 shows object x2 to x3"

Now, I'm not against using {mi djica lo ka citka} or even {mi djica lo plise}.
You might assume that I will also accept both definitions as acceptable.
No way!
This is not a simple polymorphism. This is just a different semantics.

The second {jarco} contains transitiveness and can be best expressed using probably the most important jvajvo generating rafsi -gau-.
So it's judgau/za'argau/vidygau.

Confusing them would lead to serious problems in understanding.
All transitive brivla should have {-gau-} (or more specific rafsi) in them.


As for the first jarco it represents one of the most important categories in different philosophies. It's close to ckaji.
x1 x2 x3 jarco = x1 manifests it's property x2 (ka) to x3
x1 x2 x3 ga'a x3 ckaji = x1 is characterized by property x2 to x3

Such brivla as jarco and ckaji disrupt {ko'a broda} into {ko'a ckaji/jarco lo ka broda} which can be important for topicalisation. Well, I think topicalisation can be best achieved through {ckaji} ({kai lo jugbau mi nelci [ce'u]} = Chinese language: I like [it]) but even if not the right brivla even then topicalisation brivla will belong to the same series as ckaji and jarco.

Please don't deprive me of manifestation brivla.
