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: mau'au [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: operator conversion in the sense of "operator to operand"
     selma'o: MAUhAU
  Definition: mekso: conversion of operator/function to operand
       Notes: Must be followed by a function (meaning "f", not "f(x)" (which
       is a number)) or operator (such as "+"). Treats it formally and
       syntactically as a number so that it can be operated upon, such
       as by se'au or by a functional/operator (technical sense).
       Terminated by zai'ai; the pair essentially act as
       mathematical quotation marks.  Also works on connectives and
       kei'i.  Expressions may be complicated (such as with SE, NA,
       NAI, etc. modifying the string); perhaps one may even find a
       use for quoting relations (such as equality or element-hood)
       and/or some brivla or other cmavo. See also: kei'au.
