To improve the quality of results, jbovlaste search does not return words with insufficient votes. To qualify to be returned in search results, a proposed lujvo is required to have received a vote in favor in both directions: for instance, in English to Lojban and in Lojban to English.

In addition, due to it being a very technically hard problem, full text searching (that is, searching of definitions rather than just keywords) is not available at this time.


2 definitions found
From Lojban to English :

        Word: ce'ai [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: end lambda prenex
     selma'o: ZOhU
  Definition: lambda variable prenex; marks the end of introduction of
       lambda-scope variables.
       Notes: Cf. zo'u. In effect this word is used as a shortcut around
       verbose repeated assignment in a ka prenex: lo ka ce'u goi
       ko'a ce'u goi ko'e ... zo'u ... is the same as lo ka ko'a ko'e
       ... ce'ai ... In either form this style can be used to avoid
       subscripting and to disambiguate nested ka, ni, etc.

From Lojban to Russian :

        Word: ce'ai [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: конец предварённой мысли с лямбда-функцией
     selma'o: ZOhU
  Definition: лямбда-переменная в предварённой мысли; помечает конец введения
       переменных с лямбда-областью охвата
       Notes: См. также zo'u. В сущности, это слово используется как
       краткий способ выражения многословных назначений переменных в
       предварённой мысли с ka: lo ka ce'u goi ko'a ce'u goi ko'e
       ... zo'u ... - это то же самое, что и lo ka ko'a ko'e ... ce'ai
       ... В любой форме такой стиль может использоваться, чтобы
       избежать назначения индексов переменным, а также, чтобы снять
       неоднозначность из-за вложенных ka, ni и т.п.
