Ok, this is how I would do it the long way: let's use "u'u" for "ma kau", a variable that takes the "right" value. "klnakeki" is "A amounts to E in dimension/as an I". Then: la trca le zdne li glti lo klnoku'uki zmdakeko The tree (A), the house (E), being tall (I), amounting to whatever one amounts to as I (O), A exceeds E as an O. That's just a direct calque/adaptation from Lojban: lo tricu cu zmadu lo zdani lo ka ce'u klani ma kau lo ka galtu Now we just need a way to make that more compact. mu'o mi'e xorxes
