Re: [lojban] pronouns and translation software

[Paul Rapoport <pyrapopo@princeton.edu>]

I would translate that as {ko'a fi ko'e pu dunda}, "They gave it to them." in a slangish way. If I wanted to get the full meaning across formally, I might try {lo ninmu pu dunda fi lo drata ninmu}, "The woman gave (it) to the other woman.".

I'm curious about what translation software is recommended to do with pronouns that do not have context:

[She] gave it to [her].

[ri] and [ko'a] have nothing to point to
and
[zo'e] seems too vague

Out of context the sentence means: [a female] gave it to [another female].
Would [lo ninmu] be appropriate?
How can we indicate [another female] or is it implied in {lo ninmu cu pu dunda zo'e lo ninmu}?

:D
