Re: [lojban] Specifying sumti types: another revision of gimste is complete




There are very few predicates with types "xN (property of xM)" with M > N:

makfa x1 (property of x3) is magic or supernatural to x2 performed by x3

That's the only one where the property skips a place. I don't think x1 needs to be a property of x3 though, couldn't we say:

   lo nu lo ractu cu canci cu makfa lo verba la djan

I think makfa1 could be something that x3 makes happen, not necessarily something in which x3 takes a part.

vamjix1 (property of x2) is what x2 is worth of to x3 for use x4 (property of x2)

This one I think is wrong. vamji1 is not a property of x2, it is something that x3 is willing to give up or endure in exchange for obtaining or keeping x2.


kralix1 (property of x2) is a legal/moral entitlement of individual x2 in legal system x3 (located)
mardex1 (property of x2) are the ethices of performer x2 about situation x3 (located)
cfilax1 (property of x2) is a flaw or defect in x2 causing x3 (located)
jinzix1 (property of x2) is an innate or natural property of x2
kampux1 (property of x2) is common among x2
stecix1 (property of x3) is specific or particular to member x2 among x3
tengux1 (property of x2) is a texture of x2
jibrix1 (property of x2) is a job of person x2
frilix1 (property of x2) is easy for x2

steci3 should be "property of x2". These seem fine, although they could have been defined in reverse order for the most part. Here we seem to be missing some though: nandu/tcaci/snuti/cimde/vrusi?/tarmi?

tseli2 says (property of x2) instead of (property of x1).

sisku x1 searches for x2 (property of x3) among x3

I don't agree with that one, I think sisku2 should be an object not a property.

mupli x1 (any type) is an example of x2 (property of x3) among x3
fadni x1 (any type) is ordinary in x2 (property of x3) among x3
traji x1 (any type) is superlative in x2 (property of x3) among x3
cnano x1 (any type) is an average in x2 (property of x3) among x3
rirci x1 (any type) is rare or unusual in x2 (property of x3) among x3

These should all have x2 (property of x1)

cpedu x1 requests or asks for x2 (property of x3) from x3 in manner x4 (property of x1)
stidi x1 suggests x2 (property of x3) to x3
javni x1 (located) is a rule mandating x2 (property of x3) in x3

Shouldn't flalu follow the pattern of javni?

I think those are all. There are no properties in x3 or x4 that send to a later place.
