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.

From Lojban to English :


        Word: ka'o'ai [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: imaginary i in the sense of "scalar in C, no components; not a comma"
  Gloss Word: imaginary unit in the sense of "scalar in C, no components; not a comma"
     selma'o: PA5
  Definition: imaginary i (non-comma)
       Notes: This is literally a unit, a pure number that is treated as a
       scalar; it is what happens when considering C to be a field
       over C - ordered pairs/tuples for coordinates no longer make
       much sense. Thus, this number operates exactly as one might
       think i would/should operate: as a single number, without
       components. In certain bases, it can be used a pure digit
       (which simplifies some potential numeric strings, compared to
       the usage of ka'o therein). See also: ka'o (and its
       commentary on Jbovlaste for the justification for this word),
       fai'u.
