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.)
