From Lojban to English :
Word: te'au'u [jbovlaste] Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD) Gloss Word: hyperoperator Gloss Word: iterated nested exponentiation Gloss Word: Knuth up-arrow Gloss Word: power-tower Gloss Word: tetration selma'o: VUhU Definition: mekso ternary operator: Knuth up-arrow notation: $a \uparrow \dots \uparrow b$ of order/with $c-2$ arrows ("$\uparrow$") initially, evaluated from right to left; the $c$th hyperoperator on $a$ by $b$. Notes: c must be a nonnegative integer. c=0 is the lowest-order hyperoperator in the structure. Thus, for integers: c=0 is succession of/on b (in which case a can be omitted or be any number), c=1 is addition, c=2 is multiplication, c=3 is exponentiation, c=4 is tetration, etc. Notice that right-grouping is in effect for all c; thus x*(y*z) is calculated, rather than (x*y)*z. See also: de'au'u, fe'au'u.
