Usage Examples

.a bu tengau le birka ru'u le gumri

Notes

Does this work like sruri, which has "near total containment in some dimension(s)" in the notes?

The ru'u limna example seems like it doesn't work, because Alice herself is not wrapped around anything.

Is this word actually useful for much of anything.


  • For usages like ru'u limna to be retained, ru'u should mean something like "spanning around a point". The event of Alice swimming occupies an area around a certain point and the event stays within the boundaries of this area. (This would make it somewhat similar to vi'u). Another option would be to say that {ru'u} doesn't describe a full circle, but rather an arch of any length which is defined by the directional vector of the selbri. --selpa'i


cmavo: ti'a (FAhA2)

Proposed Definition

Spatial tense. It indicates that the event is located behind a certain point. When tagging a sumti, the sumti specifies the point the event is behind of.

Proposed Tag

fi'o se trixe

See Also

  • {trixe}
  • {farna}

Proposed Keywords

  • behind
  • rearwards
  • to the rear of

Usage Examples

lo zgike sance cu klama fi lo rictu'a be ti'a le mi zdani

Proposed Definition

Spatial tense. It indicates that the event is located to the left of a certain point. When tagging a sumti, the sumti specifies the point the event to the left of.

Proposed Tag

fi'o se zunle

See Also

  • {zunle}
  • {farna}

Proposed Keywords

  • on the left of
  • leftwards
  • to the left of

Usage Examples

lo tadni cu zu'a nanmu gi'e ri'u ninmu
The students are women on my left and men on my right.
le zu'a nanmu fa'a ri'u klama
The man to my left goes towards my right.


General Section Issues

Most of these make no sense in front of a selbri with "mi" in the bridi, because you can't be (for example) above yourself, so "mi ga'u zutse" doesn't seem possible.

  • They make perfect sense. The implicitly tagged sumti is understood from context. "mi ga'u zutse" expands to "lo nu mi zutse cu gapru (zo'e)". This zo'e is usually understood to be the position of the speaker, just like the default for "pu" is the time of the speaker. However, here it very clearly means "I sit above (something)." --selpa'i

Does "ri'u do" mean "on your right", or "rightwards of you relative to the speaker"? Whichever it means, we need a way to say the other without leaving tenses.

  • I would think {ri'u do} would be the latter, while {do ri'u} is the former. - .aionys.
