[lojban] [oz] {ko'a jibni lo ka broda}

[Felipe Gonçalves Assis <felipeg.assis@gmail.com>]

An example is
  {lo ka'àmru cu tai kìnli ja'e lo nu lo trìcu cu ba zi jìbni lo ka se kàtna}

I understand that {ko'a jibni lo ka broda} here means something like {ko'a na ru'e broda}.

At least to me, this use of jibni was new.

I think it is nice to have a selbri for "almost", but what about {jbikai}?
  {ko'a jbikai ko'e}

  {ko'a ckaji lo jibni be ko'e}

This way we don't have to rely on overloading, and avoid ambiguities when both jibni1 and jibni2 are properties.

{jetyjbikai} could be used to say that a proposition is almost true, which I guess would be even closer to {na ru'e}.
