Proposed definitions

fi'o (FIhO)
Converts a selbri into a tag. The tag modifies a sentence or connects two sentences. When modifying a sentence, the tag can take an argument that further specifies it and which fills the first argument of the converted selbri. (See also: {fe'u})


doi .deivid. do no roi klama lo cinri fi'o kansa mi

David, you never come to interesting places with me.

fe'u (FEhU)
Terminator for FIhO. (See also: {fi'o})



Formal definitions

broda fi'o brode ko'a broda .i joi ko'a brode


The connection between the two relationships is {joi}, not {je}, because the two relationships are not independent of each other. They are inextricably linked, but what exactly the link is is not specified and
can vary with context.

fi'o selbri zo'u sentence lo nu sentence cu jai selbri
fi'o selbri sumti zo'u sentence lo nu sentence cu jai selbri fai sumti

Notes

  • Tags have two related but distinct functions, as unary bridi operators and as binary bridi operators.

  • As unary operators, they can take an argument that specifies the tag.

  • The sense of {fi'o selbri} as a bridi operator has to be defined for each selbri. In many cases it will correspond to the sentence filling the x2 or some other place of selbri, but this only works when selbri will admit a sentence as one of its arguments. A general orientative rule might be that the sentence fills the first place (after the x1, which is already accounted for) that will admit a sentence. If there is no place that will admit a sentence, then the relationship is a vague one.

  • The negation unary operator, NA/NA KU, can also be expressed as {fi'o natfe} or {fi'o natfe lo fatci}. For example {mi fi'o natfe fe'u klama le zarci} that I go to the market is contradicted by the facts" {mi na klama le zarci} I don't go to the market''.

  • Bridi operators in general are not commutative, so the order in which tags appear with respect to negation, quantifiers, connectives or other tags matters. The general rule is that a bridi operator has scope over the operators that follow and is within the scope of preceding operators.

  • As binary operators, only some tags are meaningful. For example {pu gi ... gi ...} and {ri'a gi ... gi ...}, but not {bau gi ... gi ...} or {ka'a gi ... gi ...}. In general, {fi'o selbri} will be meaningful as a connective if the x1 of selbri is meaningful with a sentence.
