=== cmavo: fi'o (FIhO) ===


==== Proposed Definition ====
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.


==== Proposed Tag ====


'''Basic Nuntalyli'u Instructions'''
==== See Also ====
* {fe'u}


||
==== Proposed Keywords ====
* selbri to modal
* nonce modal/sumti tag


This is for people trying to play the Lojban version of [[jbocre: Colossal Cave|Colossal Cave]], AKA nuntalyli'u
==== Usage Examples ====
;doi .deivid. do no roi klama lo cinri fi'o kansa mi:''David, you never come to interesting places with me.''
;lo citno nanla cu gleki catlu lo kacma fi'o se jbini lo pendo be ny:''The young boy looked happily into the camera, standing among his friends.''

Some of the following is imprecise because I simply don't know inform very well.  -- Main.RobinLeePowell - 02 Nov 2002

=== cmavo: fe'u (FEhU) ===


It's hopefully slightly more precise now -- Main.MartinBays - 13 Nov 2002
==== Proposed Tag ====


*  General Notes
==== Proposed Definition ====
Terminator for FIhO.


**  Numbers up to panononono (or panoki'enonono) or so should be handled for input, and arbitrary long-form numbers can be output.
==== See Also ====
*{fi'o}


**  You can talk about 'all' with roda, roti, and such.
==== Proposed Keywords ====
* terminator


**  .enai works as 'but' or 'except' in English, so 'roda .enai le ckiku' should, at least with some verbs, have the expected effect.
==== Usage Examples ====
;lo fi'o kansa fe'u klama cu gleki:''The accompanied goer is happy.''
{{BPFK Section box close}}


**  go'i repeats the last action, as does "g" and "krefu"


**  You can put multiple commands on one line using .ije, gi'e, .iji'a and .i
===Formal definitions ===


**  .e should mostly work as expected.
{| class="wikitable"
| broda fi'o brode ko'a|| ||broda .i joi ko'a brode
|}


**  No other connectives are likely to function.
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.


**  'le drata ckiku' will refer to the keys your are not holding.

**  You can generally insert cmavo such as "cu", "vau" and "kei" when they would be grammatical, or leave them out if you prefer. Be concise with your sumti, though. For example, "[[jbocre: .i ko gasnu le nu|.i ko gasnu le nu]] mi cu dunda le lastu gustci la mikyl. djaksyn. vau kei vau" and "[[jbocre: .i ko gasnu le nu|.i ko gasnu le nu]] dunda le gustci la mikyl." will likely be interpreted the same way. In fact, probably so will "dunda gustci mikyl.", if you can stomach the abuse of grammar.

===Notes ===


**  You can often run cmavo together (lemi, lego'i, etc.) if you really must.
*Tags have two related but distinct functions, as unary bridi operators and as binary bridi operators.


**  You can order someone to do something with either &amp;quot;le cmalu cipni cu gasnu le nu vofli&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;doi cmalu cipni ko vofli&amp;quot;. Don't necessarily expect to get a reply, though...
*As unary operators, they can take an argument that specifies the tag.


* Pronouns
*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.


**  Please note that these do not necessarily work the way you would expect in lojban, because Inform doesn't really understand Lojban.  
*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''.


**  But generally, &amp;quot;ri&amp;quot; refers to the last &amp;quot;interesting&amp;quot; thing mentioned (either something you referred to, or something the story just described), &amp;quot;ra&amp;quot; to the second last and &amp;quot;ru&amp;quot; to the third last.
*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.


**  &amp;quot;go'i&amp;quot; refers to your last command, so &amp;quot;le go'i&amp;quot; means whoever you just ordered (generally yourself), &amp;quot;le se go'i&amp;quot; means the first other object you mentioned and &amp;quot;le te go'i&amp;quot; the second.
*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.  


**  Other pronouns (might work vaguely like you'd expect) -


***  do
== Poll ==

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.
