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: su'ifa'uvu'u [jbovlaste]
        Type: cmavo-compound
  Gloss Word: ± in the sense of "plus or minus; complicated cases"
  Gloss Word: plus or minus in the sense of "complicated cases"
     selma'o: VUhU*
  Definition: mekso operator: plus or minus with order important,
       (((a±b)±c)±...±z)
       Notes: Strictly not "positive or negative" (if order matters, use
       ma'ufa'uni'u instead for that purpose). Subscript fa'u when
       multiple such operators (including "positive or negative" and
       others) are in use but are applied independently. This word is
       more useful and more general in mathematics than su'ijavu'u
       is, but is perhaps/arguably less general(ly useful) in Lojban,
       syntactically speaking, since not all statements have multiple
       occurrences of fa'u that may be linked.
