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.


1 definition found
From Lojban to English :

        Word: kerni [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental gismu (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: fair in the sense of "of a state or event"
  Gloss Word: just in the sense of "fair, of a state or event"
  Gloss Word: righteous in the sense of "fair, of a state or event"
  Definition: x1 (state/event/fact) is fair/just/righteous to x2 according to
       x3
       Notes: According to x3, the way x2 is treated in x1 is just (it is "as
       things should be"). See also pajni, sarxe, vrude,
       vudypai, nutli, pairnu'i. (Many of those words deal with
       some judge acting "fairly" or "justly" in some matter, which
       kerni does not. In fact, a "to'e kerni" (unfair) situation is
       not necessarily the result of evil, may be considered unfair to
       all parties, and may be nobody's fault.)
