Posted by arj on Thu 16 of Nov., 2006 11:38 GMT posts: 953 Yanis has identified a potential problem with the definition of "di'o". Specifically, the x1 of di'o is said to not match the x1 of diklo.

Is this the right place to post this kind of concern? Will we remember it when the time comes to review the whole thing?

Part of his message (from the main mailing list) reposted here:


The definition and the examples seem very dubious for me, because {diklo} is defined as "x1 is local to x2; x1 is confined to locus x2 within range x3". {di'o} marks x1 of {diklo}, i. e. something that is local or confined to a locus. So {broda di'o da} means that there is / happens {broda} such that {da} is confined to its locus. Consider the example {mi se jibri le sampla di'o la ibubymym}. If {la ibumbum} is x1 of {diklo}, then {la ibumbum} is confined to a locus of where the person works with software. The sentence actually means that the whole IBM is local to where the person works with software! That is something different from "I work with software at IBM"...

I hope you got my English.

Maybe a new page with errata/points-to-discuss? I never seem to be able to find anything posted on Wiki-discuss threads.

That is BAI, a modal and not a tense cmavo per se, and the issue should be raised in that section.

There are a couple of other BAI cmavo that do not exactly match the place structure of the listed gismu for their definition; this dates from when the associated gismu were mnemonic hints for the cmavo but were not definitional. In the past, when this problem was identified, the correction has been to make a lujvo with the place structure that we wish the BAI to represent, and change the reference.

Just for the record:

"Tense sumtcita" is a completely artificial subdivision of the BAI cmavo, specifically made for the BPFK because BAI is so large.

Good idea. I've created Issues with checkpointed BPFK sections for this.

I think the problem can be solved simply by replacing the examples with artificial ones.
