Why ''lodji'' & not ''logji''? ''logji'': x1 is logic for reasoning about x2 ''lodji'': x1 is logic for inferring x2 from x3 I wish to utilize the x3 place; i could as well have said: ''logji fi'o jicmu le [http://nuzban.wiw.org/wiki/index.php?Three-value%20Logic|cimei]'' (or whatever)...'' le za'e jamro'' ? But there are also the ''primordial'' overtones of using a Loglan prim. One could translate this, then: "Logick". ---- Using ''[http://nuzban.wiw.org/wiki/index.php?JAhA%20%2B%20CAI|ja'a]''...& some experimental [http://nuzban.wiw.org/wiki/index.php?jai%27a%20%26%20nai%27a|operators]. ---- What do i want this for? Consider how one would translate the gnomic statement from ''Twin Peaks'': "The owl flies at midnight", where a nonliteral & nonspecific (or at least not directly metaphorical) meaning is clearly indicated: ''fu'epe'a'' (or ''ja'acu'i''?) ''le glauka cu vofli ca le nicte midju''. Or Housman's "It rains into the sea,/ And still the sea is salt." Much ''more'' than a figurative statement, here... ''lo carvi le xamsi cu farlu .iseni'inaibo silna le xamsi''.
