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




Looking at "number" places:

saclu x1 (number) is the decimal equivalent of fraction x2 (number) in base x3 (number)

This doesn't really make much sense. If "li pa pi mu du li ci fi'u re" is true, and "li pa pi mu cu saclu" is true, then we should be able to conclude that "li ci fi'u re cu daclu" is true as well, so this place structure needs to be fixed. One possibility is "x1 (text) is the decimal representation of x2 (number) in base x3 (number)".

sumti x1 (text) is an argument of predicate x2 (text) filling place x3 (number)

What about places that are not named with numbers, such as fai-places? Tagged places are also an issue, since tags not only add a place to a predicate but by doing so they modify the predicate, so it's hard to find a simple way to name the resulting predicate.

A few "(number)" seem to be missing:

dugri1, dugri2, dugri3
detri1 is like tcika1 (debatable whether they are numbers).

stero2
mitre2
delno2
kelvo2
litce2
molro2
xampo2
bunda2
dekpu2
gutci2
kramu2
minli2
jeftu2
snidu2
masti2
mentu2

cisni2? How does "cisni" differ from "klani"?
