[lojban] Re: "Metalinguistic self-doubt"



For metalinguistic concerns we have the {jo'a}-{na'i} scale; {ju'o} is different. For "did I word this correctly" I'd probably say {jo'a nai toi'e ju'o cu'i} or if experimental cmavo are not allowed, just resort to {sei .oise'i xu smudra}. Unless there's a lot of usage of {ju'o} in conflict with the dictionary definition, I'd say we should leave it alone.

I wonder if there is any way to distinguish between self-doubt of the truthfulness of a statement ({ju'ocu'i}; some prefer {ju'onai}, as they believe "impossibility" is better expressed as {ju'o naku}) and "metalinguistic doubt", as in, "did I word this correctly"?
