RE: [jboske] lo'e gadri: can we converge towards a resolution?



On the officializing of additional gadri, I am now thinking
that it might be too much to ask of the BF. By my reckoning
there are 25 gadri, of which 11 are official. The 25
comprise pa'ei plus a 6 * 4 grid with lo'i, lau'i, le'i, la'i
on one axis and on the other:
set
quantified (le, lo, la, lau'a)
massified
collectivized
average
unique

Since I don't hold out much hope for the BF officializing
14 new gadri, I don't see why I should care whether just
one or two more gadri are officialized.

And, you have a blind spot. Allow me to lift it.

la'e le broda
la'e lo broda
la'e la broda
lu'o lo'i broda
lu'o le'i broda
lu'o la'i broda

I don't need to go on, do I? If you've got these distinct features lying around, make a cmavo just for that feature. And LAhE will give you singularisation for free.
