cmavo moi (MOI)

Proposed Definition

Converts a number, lerfu-string or ME-converted sumti into a tanru-unit. The place structure in the case of a number is "x1 is/are the numberth among x2 by rule x3". More generally, for any sumti the place structure is "x1 is/are the one(s) among x2 that correspond(s) to number/lerfu/sumti by rule x3".

Notes

Issues

klaku: The moi3 is not very well defined. Is it a process by which to order? In that case, describing the process will lead to a very long sumti, which is not practical. I suggest that it is a {ka}, so that lo moi is ordered such that those with most of the property are before those with less of the property. Thus, "second in shortness" is {remoi fi loka tordu}, rather than something involving a description of an elobate process.

cmavo mei (MOI)

Proposed Definition

Converts a number, lerfu-string or ME-converted sumti into a tanru-unit. The place structure in the case of a number is "x1 are number in number among x2". In general for any sumti the place structure is "x1 is/are among x2, quantified by number/lerfu/sumti".

"Mourn the losses because they are many but celebrate the victories because they are few."

Notes

Issues

klaku: The definitions for this cmavo are many and contradicting. CLL states 3 or four te sumti, this page's definition 2, and valsi/vlasisku states 3 te sumti. Also, it is not clear what mei3 is supposed to be. I suggest the other definitions be changed to match this one, with only 2 te sumti.

cmavo si'e (MOI)

Proposed Definition

Converts a number, lerfu-string or ME-converted sumti into a tanru-unit. The place structure in the case of a number is "x1 is/are a numberth of x2". In general for any sumti the place structure is "x1 is a part/fraction of x2, quantified by number/lerfu/sumti".

Notes

Issues

The CLL has:

  • lei ratcu poi zvati le panka cu so'umei lo'i ratcu
  • The-mass-of rats which are-in the park are a-fewsome with-respect-to the-set-of rats.
  • The rats in the park are a small number of all the rats there are.

Which I don't think fits with mei as we use it at all; either the definition here or the CLL needs changing.

Formal definitions

MOI

x1 number moi x2 x3 | x1 me x2 gi'e lidne da'a number me x2 x3

x1 number mei x2 | x1 me x2 gi'e klani li number lo se gradu be x2

x1 number si'e x2 | x1 pagbu x2 gi'e klani li number lo se gradu be x2

x1 number cu'o x2 | x1 se pacna zi'o li number va'o x2

x1 number va'e x2 | x1 se merli zi'o li number x2

General Section Notes

  1. The definition of me corresponds to the basic relation Among as formalized in [1], which also agrees with the definition as given in CLL.
  1. The interpretation proposed for a ME-converted sumti with moi is an extension of the definition for n-moi as n-th.
  1. The second argument of mei is changed with respect to CLL, to make it more useful and more in line with the rest of the system.
