If you had said "mi klama zo'e zo'e zo'e zo'e", that would mean "I am going somewhere, from somewhere, via some route, using some vehicle". With mi after klama, the x1 slot of klama is assumed to be zo'e, so it means "something is going to me, from somewhere, via some route, using some vehicle, something". I have no idea what the last zo'e is supposed to mean.

".uinaicai" means "unhappyness, intense", while ".uicainai" means "happyness, unintense".

>>664

Or,

uinaicai = strong-(non-happiness)
uicainai = non-(strong-happiness)

>>665

Actually,

uinaicai = strong-(non-happiness)
uicainai = (non-strong)-happiness

>>666

What would ".uinaicainai" mean?

why, non-extreme unhappyness of course.

>>668

.ua

>>666

The second one: If the left-grouping applies, "uicai" is formed first, which then gets modified by the following "nai", in which case it's "non-(extreme-happiness)".

>>667

To my eyes:

non-(extreme-(non-happiness))

((ui nai) cai) nai

>>672
there is no grouping here. the nai affects the previous particle only. That's why nai applies to cai only. I will look it up in the CLL and then link it from here.

OK, i didn't find it in the CLL, but i'm still sure i'm right :)

So [lu <<.uinaicai>> li'u] would mean "(happiness-not)-intense", [lu <<.uicainai>> li'u] is "happiness-(intense-not)", and [lu <<.uinaicainai>> li'u] is "(happiness-not)-(intense-not)"? What is the intensity of [zo <<nai] immediately after [zo <<cai]? Is it like [zo <<na] or more like [zo <<to'e]?

>>679

The grammar appears to contradict itself on this.

http://jbotcan.org/cllc/c13/s8.html claims nai scalar negates UI and CAI (not this value, but some other value on this scale).

http://jbotcan.org/cllc/c15/s7.html claims nai polar negates UI and CAI (the opposite value on this scale).

I think the Right-Thing-To-Do would be to use nai to polar negate UI and scalar negate CAI. That would make .uinaicainai mean "I am feeling opposite-of-happy (unhappy), not intensely.", not "I am feeling unhappy, opposite-of-intensely."

>>679

Can I non-error-quote only cnivla?

>>686

I like your interpretation.

>>694

"lu ... li'u" can be used to quote anything that is by itself a grammatical text (including the empty string, BTW).
