I've been looking for ways to say these without using experimental cmavo. But in the meantime these provide a stopgap.
''ku'' has four uses:


p        FALSE  SORTA  TRUE
# [[elidable terminator|elidable terminator]] for a description beginning with LE or LA (but not LA+name)


--------------------
# [[elidable terminator|elidable terminator]] for quantifier+selbri description like ''ro remna'' (which is just a short form of ''ro lo remna'')


na p    TRUE    SORTA  FALSE
# [[elidable terminator|elidable terminator]] for a free-floating tense (''puku'', ''kiku'') or modal (''baiku'')


ja'a p  FALSE  SORTA  TRUE
# part of a [[naku|naku]] compound
 
nai'a p  TRUE    FALSE  FALSE
 
jai'a p  FALSE  FALSE  TRUE
 
[[User:xorxes|xorxes]] has suggested that, following the pattern of [[jbocre: JAhA + CAI|JAhA + CAI]], the paradigm should be completed thus:
 
p                          FALSE  SORTA  TRUE
 
--------------------
 
na cu'i p = ja'a cu'i p    FALSE  TRUE    FALSE

''These are operators, functions from truth values to truth values: they read more or less like this (being placed before the core bridi):''
 
;:na: it is not the case that
 
;:ja'a: it is the case that
 
;:na'a: it is false that
 
;:jai'a: it is true that
 
;:nacu'i: it is indeterminate that
 
''Missing from this is "it is sorta the case that": SORTA TRUE SORTA (or FALSE TRUE SORTA).''
 
* I didn't propose those because I can't get my head round the difference from F-T-F. A full series of operators are proposed under [[jbocre: Three-value Logic|Three-value Logic]] (though it is incompatible with the [[jbocre: JAhA + CAI|JAhA + CAI]] proposal assumed by the proposal above). But the ones on this page are the ones I personally would find usable and useful. --[[User:And Rosta|And Rosta]]

ku has four uses:

  1. elidable terminator for a description beginning with LE or LA (but not LA+name)
  1. elidable terminator for quantifier+selbri description like ro remna (which is just a short form of ro lo remna)
  1. elidable terminator for a free-floating tense (puku, kiku) or modal (baiku)
  1. part of a naku compound
