definition

pro-sumti: repeats 2nd place of main / outermost bridi of this sentence.

notes

ni'o Proposed experimental cmavo sequence: vo'a'e…vo'u'e is a variant of vo'a…vo'u and is the same except it is explicitly a pro-sumti for the current (innermost) bridi with the shortest possible scope (even in descriptions), rather than the outermost bridi, or the innermost / current full bridi, or with the bridi choice left vague.

ni'o The vo'a…vo'u sequence's choice of bridi is ambiguous: it depends on which Lojban standard you use. Under the CLL, it is the current bridi, meaning it is the same as the proposed cmavo sequence: vo'a'e…vo'u'e. Under la ma'oste usage, it is the outermost bridi. See also the English Lojban wiki's page titled ‘vo'a in the CLL and in the ma'oste’ for a discussion on this topic.

ni'o Proposed secondary axis index semantics: Use e.g. vo'a'exipi'ere to refer to the second-innermost bridi. Perhaps vei…ve'o can be used to nest groups if needed. (Without pi'e, vo'a'e as usual if indexed with xi would just change what place it refers to, e.g. x6.) (Perhaps then vo'a'e would be shorthand for vo'axipi'eni'upa or vo'axipi'ero under the la ma'oste language dialect, saving 5 syllables.)

ni'o Additional proposed experimental cmavo sequences: vo'a'e…vo'u'e selects bridi from the shortest possible scope, allowing for direct reflexives (even in descriptions) (suggested mneumonic: ‘'e’ as in ‘se’ for a reflexive pronomial verb in some languages), vo'a'ei…vo'u'ei selects bridi from the outermost bridi (suggested mneumonic: ‘'ei’ as in ‘nei’ (like ‘dei’) as an alternative to using vo'a'ei…vo'u'ei when combined with lo and SE), and vo'a'e'i…vo'u'e'i selects from the innermost / current full bridi (suggest mneumonic: adding an extra ‘'i’ looks similar to the outer-bridi-separator i, and also ‘e'i’ is in ‘se'i’ which is a rafsi of sevzi). Finally, vo'a'o'e…vo'a'o'e could be defined for the variant of an unspecified bridi, as in xipi'exo'e. Example: in i mi krici lodu'u lo bende cu se xamgu lo djuno be fi vo'a, the ‘'e’ variant (shortest) would mean that those who know themselves are good for the team, the ‘'ei’ variant (outermost) would mean that those who know the speaker are beneficial for the team, and the ‘'e'i’ variant would mean that those who know the team are good for it.
