!! cmavo: re'u (ROI)



!!! Proposed Definition

Ordinal tense. Converts a number to an objectively quantified ordinal tense interval modifier, indicating that the event takes place for the ''n''-th time. When tagging a sumti, the sumti specifies the interval in which the repetitions occur.



!!! Proposed Tag

* {roi}



!!! Proposed Keywords

* for the nth time.



!!! Usage Examples

;.i mi re re'u troci lo ka co'a sipna:''For the second time, I try to fall asleep.''



;.a'o do pu zi ro re'u darxi lo mensi be do:''I hope this was the last time you hit your sister.''



;mi pa re'u lo mi nunji'e cu prane lo ka gleki:''For the first time in my life I am perfectly happy.''

!!! Notes

** Summary: re'u is semantically related to the ZAhO series, in that it specifies a phase of the event. (This discussion is suggestive of calling re'u an ''aspect'', and not a tense.)

* ((re'u)) (Lojban wiki page)

** Summary: za'u re'u means "not for the first time", so it could be used for some senses of "again".

!! General Section Issues

By convention, tagged sumti without quantification (the new definition of lo dispenses with the notion of implicit quantification) are taken to refer to single instances. E.g. ''mu roi lo cacra'' is taken to mean "five times per hour".



The meaning of tagged sumti with ROI, previously undescribed, has been explicitly laid out.
