I'm aware. I'm in Canada at the moment; there's nothing I can do about it right now.Carl Miller wrote:No but seriously the lexicon entry for "middle, center" is still borked.
Thanks for the sentiment, but there's no fun to be had here.Carl Miller wrote:Have fun in Canada.
Synonyms exist in Trade as well as English. Taia derives from the concept of a star as a visible point in the sky, whereas sillat derives from the concept of a star as an astrophysical body, but they both mean essentially the same thing. Similarly, the semantic difference between tobi and lenzos is essentially the same as between English "world" and "planet."Siber wrote:The lexicon incoldues two entries for 'star'. Is one or both of them a specific star instead of a generic, or is this an error? Also, I'm curious about the exact distinction between tobi, 'world', and lenzos, 'earth (a.k.a. planet)'.
To give a crude explanation, under current IAU definitions Earth is both a tobi and a lenzos, while Pluto is only a tobi.Siber wrote:The lexicon incoldues two entries for 'star'.

Arioch wrote:Trade doesn't have possessive pronouns; you just apply the possessive modifier as normal: "my" and "your" would be tezair mi and lozen mi.Dorfington wrote:There are still some missing words such as "my", "with" (I assume it is "sen" as "without" is listed as "Sena") and "your".
"With" in the sense of the preposition "accompanied by, including" is pazed, but in the sense of the verb "use or utilize" is neimo.

"My toy towards (I) bend, and it using my hands (I) retrieve."
(The explicit tezair me "I, the subject" is assumed in most speech and therefore usually omitted.)

Not exactly, but I will decline to translate the rest unless you have a specific need for those translations.Dorfington wrote:"Do you regret answering me yet?"
No. Because of the dual-column nature of the table on that page, individual insertions are problematic, and re-exporting the entire lexicon takes significant effort. I suppose there are things I could do to automate it... but that's a task for another time.Dorfington wrote:Do you happen to update the lexicon page every time you verify a new word?
