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: zi'oi'oi [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: delete exactly all subsequent unfilled sumti slot
     selma'o: ZIhOI
  Definition: Delete subsequent sumti slots.
       Notes: Behaves exactly like "zi'oi" except that the sumti slots
       which are filled and deleted in the manner of "zi'o" are
       exactly those ones which (otherwise) belong to the tagged word
       and which strictly follow the natural-last sumti slot (after SE
       conversion and FA evaluation) which has been explicitly filled
       (including by "zo'e"); all prior sumti slots in the structure
       of the tagged word (after SE conversion) remain and,
       definitionally, either are explicitly filled or are implicitly
       "zo'e"-filled. Use FA + "zo'e" if you wish to access a much
       later sumti slot without filling all intermediate/intervening
       sumti slots explicitly. "by klama zi'oi'oi fi cy" and "klama
       zi'oi'oi zo'e cy fa by" are semantically equivalent, both
       meaning "B comes/goes (klama) from C (to somewhere
       unspecified), with the klama$_4$ route and the klama$_5$ means
       both being deleted"; notice how bothbthe semantic equivalence
       between the two example phrases and their individual meanings
       are lost/altered if "zi'oi'oi" were replaced by "zi'oi".
