Re: [lojban] [Oz] {ji'i}

[".arpis." <rpglover64+jbobau@gmail.com>]

According to http://dag.github.io/cll/18/9/

If “ji'i” appears in the middle of a number, all the digits following it are approximate.

That is to say that {ci ji'i vo} means "about 34 (and I'm pretty sure about the "30" part)".

Hello Selpa'i,

do you use {ji'i} in a sense different from what CLL has?

I don't know the English source text, but from context it seems implausible that there are 'ca. 34 chairs' ('30-and-circa-4 chairs') in the farm house, which is how I normally understand {lo ci ji'i vo stizu}.

Does {ci ji'i vo} mean 'three to four' or something like that in the Oz text? If so, could you explain if that is the usual meaning of {ji'i} (in which case I have been misunderstanding CLL) or a deviant usage?

Thank you very much!
