History: BPFK Section: Dictionary Preface

Source of version: 4

This section is for general issues surrounding an entire grammatical category, or whatever. Stuff that would otherwise get repeated many, many times in the various definitions. Stuff that should go here: * Magic word precedence ! BAI Issues This is a very rough draft, largely stolen from bancus. !! BAI vs. FIhO + selbri [+ FEhU] Every BAI expression is equivalent to a FIhO + selbri [+ FEhU] expression. Both forms are valid in all places the each form is valid. This contradicts the CLLv1, but the CLLv1 clearly states the old behaviour was due to parser limitations. !! BAI + SE/NAhE/NAI It has been determined that BAI is effectively fi'o BAPLI, and that the following derivation exists: * SE BAI == fi'o SE BAPLI * BAInai == fi'o na BAPLI * na'eBAI == fi'o na'e BAPLI * to'eBAI == fi'o to'e BAPLI !!! BAI + SE/NAhE/NAI and Causals This is shown as the following: * ri'a == with cause * ri'anai == not with cause * to'eri'a == prevented by * to'eri'anai == not prevented by (despite) !! BAI + KU Putting KU immediately after a BAI tag is equivalent to "BAI zo'e" in all respects. It is generally translated into English as an adverb. For example, "mi klama bai ku" is "I compelledly go". !!! BAI + selbri Putting a BAI tag immediately before the selbri is exactly the same as putting BAI + KU immediately before the selbri. !! BAI And Connectives BAI can interact with connectives in various ways, which are mostly beyond the scope of this document (see CLL or other Lojban learning materials). In particular, BAI before a forethought connective causes the BAI to have scope over the entire structure, and BAI + BO after an afterthought connective causes the BAI to have scope over the structure to the right (after the BAI + BO). This is worth mentioning here because constructs like ".i ri'a bo" meaning "because" (specifically a physical cause) are incredibly common in Lojban.
