It is patently obvious to some of us, including several of the more expert lojbanists, that a tense for 'again' would, at the very least, be Really Nice, if not Absolutely Necessary. Here is a list of things that ''will not'' work: * za'ure'u ** The consensus seems to be that this is "more than once", which in some contexts does the job, but certainly not in all of them. ***What consensus? "more than once" is ''za'uroi''. I don't see any problem with ''za'ure'u'', which means "other than the first time". --((xorxes)) Possible solutions: * Something like ji'are'u ** This would require creating a ji'a-like cmavo in PA (changing the selma'o of ji'a is right out). It would probably mean "one more than the current value". -RobinLeePowell * A member of PA meaning "the current value", call it xa'i'i, so you'd have za'uxa'i'ire'u ** Note that you *cannot* use VUhU before re'u. I have no idea why. -RobinLeePowell ** You seem to be looking for a way of saying "next time" rather than "again". --((xorxes)) * ji'ano'ore'u ** Works, is almost comprehensible. Rather ugly, though, and not as many uses as the current value PA. -RobinLeePowell ***Do you mean ''no'oji'are'u''? Indicators always modify the previous word. --((xorxes))
