==== definition ====

<span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>1</sub></span> is exactly/approximately <span class="MATH">(1/<i>x</i><sub>2</sub>)</span>-th-portion [li] of <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>3</sub></span> by standard <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>4</sub></span>.

==== notes ====

Analogous to [[xadba|xadba]], but where the fraction is specified. <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>2</sub></span> must be positive; use fractions in order to denote <span class="MATH">(<i>n</i>/<i>m</i>)</span>-ths of something (where  MATH
 $x_<a class="undefined" href="../dict/2?bg=1;langidarg=2">2</a> = m/n$
 
<span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>2</sub> = <i>m</i>/<i>n</i></span>, in such a case). Typically (but not necessarily), <span class="MATH"><i>x</i><sub>2</sub></span> will be filled by rational numbers (and, often, these will be integers greater than 1). Examples: "a/one whole" = "xonba be li pa"; "one-third" = "xonba be li ci"; "two-thirds" = "xonba be li ci fi'u re"; "a quarter/one-fourth" = "xonba be li vo", etc. . See also: [[xadba|xadba]] (= "xonba be li re"), [[tezda|tezda]] (= "xonba be li te'o" when in the default mode).
