definition

x₁ (quoted text) is a fragment/incomplete statement/question/utterance/proposition/text with intended meaning x₂ in the context/under conditions x₃ (default: the currently relevant context)

notes

This is useful when someone says one or very few words and the responder needs to ask them what their statement means while indicating that it was too brief to be clear. Example: Person A asks "Why?", but person B does not know of what they are asking for the cause and so replies with the question "'Why?' what?"; in Lojban, B would ask "(lu ri'a ma li'u) .almu ma".
