I simply say > {za lo djedi be li re} {za lo djedi be li vo}, which works > for distance from the reference point in either direction, > {pu} or {ba} indicate which one. I think that ZI is supposed to be parallel to VA, so "co'e za ko'a", would happen at a medium time from "ko'a", just as something like "citka va le panka" happens a medium distance from the park. OTOH, "za lo djedi be li re" has a time interval and not an event tagged, so maybe it could mean "2 days ago/hence", but I think that that would mean that "cadzu va lo mitre be li mu" would mean "walk(s) (at a place) 5 meters away." I suppose it would work, but having 2 meanings for VA/ZI seems like it might be slightly un-lojbanic. mu'o mi'e adam
