Discussion of "slanu"

Properties terbri

It is possible that this word and other geometric words should have a (third, in this case) terbri for "having geometric/topological/mathematical properties x_i". It can be useful to specify such things, even in real world (so-called 'typical') contexts. These can range from measurements of various dimensions to describing shapes and features, to more exotic traits.

any example of how slanu3 would be filled with real words?

"lo ka ce'u mitre li xo'ei lo ?radius?".
"lo ka ce'u se paxra lo (shape)".
For a cylinder, it could also he described as being right or oblique, although I am not sure how to encode those meanings in Lojban right now.

That introduces a lot fo new concepts and words like xo'ei and paxra. their terbricmi types (text, entity, property; set) is most of the time a mistery to me.
So I once again suggest take some topic, e.g. 3d topology and describe most common shapes with all their defining properties (platonic solids, cube, cuboid, sphere, torus, cylinder, cone, triangular prism, triangular pyramid, square pyramid). That would require writing a paper of course. But then the dictionary will just reflect that paper (and might even have references to it)
