A new use for {soi}, as proposed by selpa'i
cmavo: soi (SOI)Proposed Definitionbridi relative clause. Restricts or gives additional information about the containing bridi. Contains a {ke'a}, whose antecedent is the containing bridi ({lo su'u no'a}). Corresponds loosely to adverbs in natural languages.

Notes{broda soi ke'a brode} == {lo su'u broda cu fasnu gi'e brode} Both the main bridi and the soi bridi are asserted. soi terms always have top-scope, meaning they scope over any quantifiers, negations or tenses that precede them. When multiple soi are used in the same bridi, they are understood to have equal scope. ImpactThe old {soi vo'a} usage for "vice versa" becomes invalidated in favor of a more useful and flexible cmavo that has applications in a wide range of situations as shown in the examples. |
