| vensa | ma jdima lonu curmi doi tomoj |
| tomoj | is there a vague PA |
| selckiku | i don't mind "malgli", that's a fine way to say it, it just makes me wonder |
| vensa | selckiku: the bomb is about to go off :) tomoj: ji'i |
| selckiku | huh, a vague pa, that's a cool idea, there isn't is there?? |
| tomoj | the thing is, I don't even know the number nor whether it's typical |
| vensa | you can use {za'u |
}
| tomoj | I just know it's in the hundreds |
| vensa | or {su'o |
}
| selckiku | "ji'i" makes any PA a little vaguer, you can't use it on its own can you? |
| vensa | so {za'u panono |
}
| tomoj | so I was thinking "XX no no" |
| vensa | selckiku: y not? |
| selckiku | i dunno, i'd just never seen it |
| tomoj | well.. |
| selckiku | what selma'o is zo ji'i anyway zo ji'i cmavo ma |
| tomoj | 10000 is {za'u pa no no}, isn't it? |
| valsi | ji'i
|
| vensa | tomoj: you can try {xo paunai no no |
}
| tomoj | it's PA |
| selckiku | ok then, i guess {li ji'i} is a pretty vague number then |
| vensa | selckiku: is {za'u panono}
|
| valsi | za'u
|
| selckiku | 10000 is more than 100, sure |
| vensa | yeah but what is the meaning of the lojban? oh wait nm. tomoj wasnt arguing with me I was including "10000" as a referent of {za'u panono |
}
| selckiku | it's a somewhat unusual meaning of za'upanono but it depends on the context |
| tomoj | I want X00 where X is a single digit 1-9 |
| vensa | doi tomoj no'i xu do kakne lonu se pendo lo mlatu poi bartu tomoj: then you need a regex :P |
| tomoj | hmm, is there enough cmavo space open to translate regex into lojban? :) |
| valsi | boxfo
no'o
|
| selckiku | the cmavo space is rather busy, really |
| vensa | how about {no'o no no}? if anything, it sounds hilarious |
