BPFK Section: Distance
Not directly on the issue but related: does Lojban have the means to combine a number of parameters into a single sumti? For some of the uses of distance cmavo as sumti tcita, the natural sumti has to be a number of points: 10 in the case of spatio-temporals, down to 2 for one-dimensionals. To be sure, we usually have a shorthand, "Europe in the 20s" say or "Route 66," but do we have a device for the general case, for 48:12:52N x 140:15:37E and all the multiples of that sort of thing?
