Lessons Errata Chapter 10

  • Chapter 10
    • First sentence: "...where every second sentence seems to start..." > "...where it seems that every second sentence starts..."
    • In the discussion of ni'i/seni'i, "the logically necessitator" should perhaps be "the logical necessitator"
    • Exercise 2 #6 "That computer can't get a virus because it's running Linux." — the "Computer flamebait" note on the answer discusses Macs vs PCs, which seems a non sequitur. (Additionally, there do exist viruses and worms which target Macs and Linux systems.)
    • Exercise 3 uses "vorme", which is never introduced and is not in the vocabulary appendix
    • Exercise 3 #6 uses "farlu", which is never introduced (but is in the vocab appendix)
    • Ex 4 #3 "Why is it dark in here?"; the lojban translation given is "vi manku ri'a ma"; i.e. asking for a physical cause. While this makes sense if the expected answer is "because the power is out" (or "because the lights are off" .u'i), I hesitated because I could easily imagine responses along the lines of "because I'm trying to sleep", "because I'm developing photographs", "because we're trying to conserve power" — which seem more in the ki'u realm: there is some standard in play by which the area being dark is justified. Am I off my rocker?
    • Answer to exercise 6.4: cisma > cmila (the exercise says "laughs" not "smiles")
