Re: [lojban] How technical are gismu?



Uh... I don't believe I'm ready to translate that.
I'm only beginning.
Also, why say it's a long square/rectangle, when the dimensions are arbitrary, so it might be tall, or it might be even a square?

{clakurfa} is a lujvo from {clani kurfa}. Length and height are a bit
problematic, since the Lojban words for dimensions {clani ce'o ganra ce'o
rotsu} are in order of magnitude, irrespective of orientation. I think there
ought to be a set of words for dimensions by orientation.

Translate the sentence and let us look at it.
