    • A suggestion about "prenu"

    Posted by tijlan <jbotijlan@gmail.com> on Sat 28 of Nov, 2009 12:07 GMT

    I was looking for a lujvo for "character" in the sense of "a person's
    distinguishing feature". I could find none. So I noncely made
    "pretcila". But, come to think of it, "prenu" is already defined such
    that x1 displays personality/persona. This "personality/persona" can
    well be a matter of sumti. Why don't we have "prenu" x2, then? We
    could make good use of it, e.g. "ro verba cu prenu lo frica", "lo
    steci selpre cu sarcu lo nu ti jibri da".

    mu'o mi'e tijlan

    What's wrong with prete'i or preselkai (or simply, of course,
    selkai and steci)?
