This little idea came to me today and thought it could work. [18:07] <ksion> If you want to convert other places, {jaixiPA} is also a possible syntax for now, pe'i. [18:08] <@xalbo> The problem is mainly that you'd need a lot of them, and you'd want them systematically named. [18:08] <kribacr> ni'o za'a .ue la .lojbab. co'a di'i co'e le fu'e pe'a mrilu liste fu'o [18:09] <ksion> Something like {tu'anai}, doing the opposite of {tu'a} (and funnily enough, the thing the definition of {tu'a} says that {tu'a} does) could suffice. [18:09] <kribacr> {jai'a} {jai'e} {jai'i} {jai'o} {jai'u}. :P [18:09] <@xalbo> Here's an idea, probably a bad one: {jai fi} is almost like {te}. [18:10] <ksion> kribacr: u'i [18:10] <@xalbo> Hmm, do you have an actual use case for a tu'a-opposite? [18:11] <ksion> Not reallly, tbh. I guess something with our bread-and-butter gismu for abstraction discussion could be easily made, though. Yes, I'm talking about {bandu} :) [18:11] *valsi* bandu [18:11] <ksion> mi jai bandu tu'anai do faixire lonu do vi zvati [18:12] <ksion> I defend you, so you can stay here. [18:13] <kribacr> Seems like the sort of thing a tag would be useful for. [18:13] <ksion> Yes, {tezu'e} would be good here. [18:13] <ksion> Or {fi'o se djica}, "with intent". [18:14] <kribacr> {ja'e} [18:14] <ksion> That's if I succeed :) [18:15] <ksion> valsi tu'a [18:15] <valsi> tu'a = extracts a concrete sumti from an unspecified abstraction; equivalent to le nu/su'u [sumti] co'e. [18:15] <@xalbo> I really don't understand that at all, I'm afraid. [18:15] <ksion> Yeah, this should be fixed. [18:16] <ksion> Oh wait. [18:16] <@xalbo> {mi jai bandu tu'anai do faixire lonu do vi zvati} What is {faixire} supposed to be doing, and what is {tu'anai} supposed to be doing, and what fills where? [18:17] == Hugglesworth [~raposa@S010600219be23dcb.lb.shawcable.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] [18:17] <ksion> Yes, you're right. This is wrong. Actually, {tu'a} is what would be needed here since I need to wrap {do} into abstraction to fill into bandu. [18:17] <ksion> bandu2* [18:17] <vensa> I once proposed "extracts" should be replaced with "marks" [18:17] <@xalbo> bandu2 can be an object or a state. So you could use {tu'a do}, or just {do}. [18:18] <ksion> {tu'anai} doing the opposite of {tu'a} actually doesn't make sense as sumti tag. ua [18:18] <@xalbo> "constructs an unspecified abstraction around a concrete sumti" is probably how I'd put if, if I were trying to be equally brief.

[18:25] <ksion> (The examples, I mean) [18:26] <vensa> I prefer the first [18:26] <vensa> more exact IMO [18:26] <ksion> I actually made the second one on the spot since I couldn't find appropriate BAI. [18:26] <vensa> but how would you make a double-jai on both first AND second x's? [18:26] <ksion> jaisejaise [18:27] <@xalbo> So the list of mnemonics doesn't list mnemonics for cmavo that don't have a mnemonic: [awe] [disbelief] [surprise] [18:27] <vensa> and youd need {faixire}? [18:27] <ksion> Yes. [18:27] <vensa> that's stupid. If there is an obvious mnemonic, I usually realize it myself [18:27] <@xalbo> (although I think {ga'e} probably has {gapru} as at least partial motivation; someone should mention it) [18:27] <ksion> I'm not sure if {faixipa} wouldn't refer to first {jai} then -- that is, the nelci2.

[18:29] <vensa> like {faxipa} is {fa}.... [18:29] <@xalbo> I don't know of any better source for mnemonics. If you do, indicate. [18:29] <ksion> Yes. But I'm not sure what {fai} refers to either, in that sentence.

[18:30] <vensa> dunno., xalbo? [18:30] <@xalbo> I think if you want more than one {jai}, you're probably making things more complicated than you need to. [18:30] <ksion> I recall L4B having an appropriate example but it's hardly normative. [18:30] <ksion> Of course. But we like to complicate.
