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.

From Lojban to English :


        Word: ti'ormanku [jbovlaste]
        Type: lujvo
  Gloss Word: shade-darkened in the sense of "to be dark due to shadow/being in the shade"
  Gloss Word: shadow eclipse in the sense of "lunar-style; eclipse in which the eclipsed object is viewed to be darkened by a shadow with no significant blocking body physically betwixt the eclipsed object and the object from which viewing occurs"
  Definition: x1=m1 is shade-darkened/has shadow x2=c1 cast upon it by
       obfuscating/blocking/(at least semi-)opaque object x3=c2 from
       energy/light/transmission source x4=c3; x2 is the
       shadow-eclipse caste upon x1 by x3, blocking radiation from x4
       Notes: Possible uses include (but are not limited to) lunar-style
       eclipses in which the eclipsed object (as seen from another
       object) is not physically blocked from sight by yet another
       object but is shaded from sight by the shadow cast upon it by
       some object (possibly the one from which the eclipse is
       viewed). There is no real physical difference between this and
       a solar-style eclipse (both rely on linear alignment of
       bodies), but the chosen vantage point varies among them and
       thus causes different interpretations of the same phenomenon of
       alignment. In other words, it is an eclipse in which the
       eclipsed object is viewed to be darkened by a shadow (caste
       upon it by some object) with no significant blocking/impeding
       body physically betwixt the eclipsed object and the object from
       which viewing of the eclipse occurs.
