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.


3 definitions found
From Lojban to English :

        Word: zi'evla [jbovlaste]
        Type: lujvo
  Gloss Word: irregular content word in the sense of "in Lojban"
  Gloss Word: stage 3 fu'ivla
  Gloss Word: stage 4 fu'ivla
  Definition: x1 is an irregular/free-form content word meaning x2 in
       language x3 (usually Lojban); x1 is a stage-4 or stage-3
       fu'ivla.
       Notes: A zi'evla is any non-gismu, non-lujvo, non-cmevla (see
       brivla–cmevla merger) valid brivla. This generalizes the
       concept of fu'ivla to reflect the fact that many free-form
       brivla in Lojban nowadays are completely novel words not
       borrowed from any other languages; instead, many are created by
       splicing together other Lojban words, similar to lujvo but
       without adhering to any regular morphological patterns.
       Synonymous with zevla; mostly synonymous with u'ivla and
       vonfu'ivla; refers also to gimyzevla; contrast with
       zevlyjvo/brapagjvo and valtcizbaga (which are lujvo, not
       zi'evla).
