Notes !!! Issues {BOX} {BOX()} !! cmavo mi'i (BIhI) !!! Proposed Definition Non-logical interval connective. Joins two values into an interval and refers to its center-range, or the range surrounding the center. The first value specifies the center, the second value specifies the distance from the center. !!! Proposed Tag !!! See Also !!! Proposed Keywords * center-range * surrounding center !!! Usage Examples ;lo bamjakne ba janli la .moskov. mi'i lo ki'otre be li panono:''The missile will hit within 100 kilometers of Moscow.'' ;lo .teilr. zei sujypoi pe lo dugri fancu cu jbize'a ve'a li pa ga'omi'i pa:''The Taylor series of the logarithm function converges within 1 of 1, closed at the center.'' !!! Notes !!! Issues {BOX} {BOX()} !! cmavo ga'o (GAhO) !!! Proposed Definition Inclusive interval. Indicates that a boundary is included in an interval. When used before ''bi'o'' or ''bi'i'', it indicates that the beginning of the interval is closed. When used after ''bi'o'' or ''bi'i'', it indicates that the end of the interval is closed. When used before ''mi'i'', it indicates that the center of the interval is closed. When used after ''mi'i'', it indicates that the outside of the interval is closed. !!! Proposed Tag !!! See Also * {ke'i} !!! Proposed Keywords * inclusive interval * closed interval * include boundaries !!!

Notes !!! Issues {BOX} {BOX()} !! cmavo ke'i (GAhO) !!! Proposed Definition Exclusive interval. Indicates that a boundary is excluded from an interval. When used before bi'o or bi'i, it indicates that the beginning of the interval is open. When used after bi'o or bi'i, it indicates that the end of the interval is open. When used before mi'i, it indicates that the center of the interval is open. When used after mi'i, it indicates that the outside of the interval is open. !!! Proposed Tag !!! See Also * {ga'o} !!! Proposed Keywords * exclusive interval * open interval * exlude boundaries !!! Usage Examples ;mi sanli la .drestyn. ga'o bi'i ke'i la .frankfurt.:''I am standing on the interval between Dresden (inclusive) and Frankfurt (exclusive).'' ;mi sanli la .drestyn. ke'i bi'i ga'o la .frankfurt.:''I am standing on the interval between Dresden (exclusive) and Frankfurt (inclusive).'' ;mi sanli la .drestyn. ke'i bi'i ke'i la .frankfurt.:''I am standing on the interval between Dresden and Frankfurt, exclusive of both.'' !!! Notes !!! Issues {BOX} {BOX()} !! Proposed grammar changes In the PEG grammar, replace the line%%% ^ joik <- SE-clause? JOI-clause NAI-clause? / interval / GAhO-clause interval GAhO-clause%%% ^ with the line%%% ^ joik <- SE-clause? JOI-clause NAI-clause? / interval / GAhO-clause interval / interval GAhO-clause / GAhO-clause interval GAhO-clause ^ A joik cannot be immediately followed by another joik, so a sequence "BIhI GAhO BIhI" cannot occur, so determining to which BIhI a GAhO belongs does not depend on the order in this line. {BOX} !! General Section Notes BIhI may be used with only one GAhO next to it; this indicates that one end of the interval is closed or open, but says nothing about the other end. The Taylor series mentioned above diverges at 0, but converges at all other points on the boundary of the disk of convergence; thus the outside is neither closed nor open. The definition of GAhO with ''mi'i'' differs from that in CLL, but there appears to be no prior usage of GAhO with ''mi'i''. Allowing BIhI with only one GAhO is a change in the grammar. Since GAhO is used only with BIhI, and no [GAhO] BIhI [GAhO] may be followed immediately by another [GAhO] BIhI [GAhO], this introduces no new ambiguity. !!! Interval or Point? There is a question whether ''abu bi'i by'' denotes the interval [a..b] or some point in the interval. Here are some examples, showing which way it has been used: ;lo kanla be lo remna cu viska loi gusni poi boxna folo navytre beli 400 bi'i li 800:"The human eye can see light of wavelength between 400 and 800 nanometers."
