lod's Issues

Proposed: {frahu}

PROPOSED: {frahu}
GLOSS: "forgive"
DEFINITION: K forgives D for doing/being V
DJIFOA: none
ETYMOLOGY: Lojban ({fraxu})
NOTE: I discussed this with Dr. Holmes, who seemed to agree that it might be good to have a dedicated word for this, given that the existing word {tsenordri} in my opinion occupies a semantic space that is far removed from its constituent djifoa.

*Please let me know if you would prefer for me to do anything differently when submitting entries in the future.

Check origin for months

nermea, <5 month> [B-F] (2n) B is a January of year F.
nermea, <5 month> (na) January (the 1st month of the year).

kilbi, looks like an error in math notation

in the entry for kilbi, I think that is 1000-fold - I cant make sense of the 2E10.

bi and bii

Add the 'new' word bii with the current definition of bi

bii was proposed by me, Randall Holmes, in the 1990s but never made it into the dictionary

bi needs the following definition:

X bi Y means, "X" has the same reference as "Y", with the side effect that the reference of "X" may be made more precise to be compatible with the reference of "Y". This is somewhere between equality and an assignment operator.

comment: Look at the discussion of in Loglan 1 chapter 5. Feel free to make suggestions about how to phrase this better.

Proposed time-related words: {vensa}, {critu}; {ctaru}, {vanci}

The following words have been reviewed and approved by Dr. Holmes for submission here. Dr. Holmes and I both agree that each of these concepts deserve to have a root in their own right, rather than relying on compounds. -cau- and -vac- are proposed as djifoa for {ctaru} and {vanci}; each of these are free, and would allow the formation of many useful compounds.

Note: The case tags used for time words in the existing lexicon are inconsistent. For instance, {cimra} is B-C, while {dotra} is V-C. For this reason, I would propose that the standard case tags for these words should be B-F, as in {natli}: beu (parts) + foa (wholes).

some new words from the #words channel

lekflomao -- charge a battery. agent charges battery at power source
mocytorkrilu -- motorcycle

There is also an issue with the entry piro: take no action as yet, but be aware there is a formal problem with this word. I'll work on it; get back to me if I don't communicate with you.

definition of if...then...words

There is an error in the definition of noa, it should be Not..., or... NOT Not... and or.... It COULD be Not...and/or... which is probably what was intended, but I think Not..., or... is better stylistically. Really the definition should be rewritten, but it is probably inoca that should get the rewrite.

error in inoca too similar: correct not … and or, to Not..., or...

The definition of inoca needs a thoughtful rewrite, and noa should refer to it. noca might need the same correction.

can the English entry for *nigro* include the remark that it is deprecated?

The Loglan entry does say this clearly; a user of the language should know that this is not the word to use (it is preserved because it presumably appears in old text).

Proposed: -fud- becomes the djifoa of {fundi}

I would like to propose that -fud- be used as the djifoa of {fundi}. The reason for this is that -fud- is unused as a djifoa, and {fundi} appears to be a common 5-letter predicate that lacks a combining form. Having a djifoa would allow the creation of several new compounds related to preference, appreciation, and so forth.

I discussed this with Dr. Holmes, who encouraged me to submit it as an issue here.
