Terbri issues

The current definition is: "x1 (number/quantity; contextless default: li ma'u .a li no) is the (rest/inertial) mass of x2 (object) in units x3".
Should the first terbri be, instead, a dimensionful number so that lo(i) grake fills it and the amount thereof (se grake; accessed by be) is the current-x1 (subject to the same constraints and, possibly, defaults)? This would make much more sense.
There might also be room for a new third terbri expressing the coordinate system used in order to define how the units are being used. For example, it might be theoretically possible to 'rotate' in some way so that positive masses become negative; we just happen to all agree.

yep.
Also I have no clue what grake3 is for.
And what is the current majga3 for?

How would you fill that new third terbricmi?

I am not really sure because I do not have a good grasp of what it means yet. I am not sure that it is even useful.

A brivla for rest mass/energy is necessary though.

Maybe we can directly follow the analogy of "dikca": x1 is mass (gravitational charge/current, or inertial mass) on/in/of x2, of polarity/quantity x3 (default: nonnegative; dimensionful).
Bote: I slightly dislike the "current" option in both definitions. But one can specify whether the charges in question are stationary in or on the body.

At least two broad ways: (1) "ko'a grake li pa ki'o", "ko'a ki'ogra (li pa)", vel sim. (2) Using my newly proposed definition of "majga": "ko'a se majga fi lo grake be li pa ki'o", vel sim.
Similarly, one could translate "it has an electric charge of -1 coulomb" as: (1') "ko'a xapsnidu li ni'u pa" vel sim. (2') "ko'a se dikca fi lo xapsnidu be li ni'u pa" vel sim.

I actually thought it's grake3 where you specify which definition of mass you need. So you want grake to be used both for relativistic mass and rest mass?

I did not use grake3. But I read it as specifying the relevant standard/definition of the gram. Is it the "mass of 1 cm^3 of water" standard, the "(1/1000) of the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram" standard, the recent "defining hbar exactly with identified value" standard, or something else?
One would have to specify whether rest mass or Relativistic mass is meant, or specify the frame of reference.
dikca1 refers to the charge property which is distributed on or throughout a body, contained in and carried by certain quantum particles. In analogy but less usefully, majga1 under my new proposal would refer to the mass property which is distributed on or through a body, contained in and carried by certain (pretty much all) of its quantum particles and, also, at macroscopic scale, by binding energies between particles; it is a property which often arises from the Higgs interaction, being expressed as inertia (not just gravitational 'charge'). In some formulations of Relativity, the value is determined by frame of reference as long as it is nonzero in the stationary frame; modern formulations always use rest mass only, but we should be able to embrace either perspective.

One thing to keep in mind: There is no clear-cut distinction between energy and mass. When I heft an apple, it turns out that a lot of its perceived mass is 'actually' binding energies in and between atoms, rather than the sum of the masses of the subatomic particles alone.

So grake is to be used for both rest and relativistic masses.
Do you think tilju should be limited to those two masses too? Right now it includes weight.
The place structure of relativistic mass would be the same as for majga?

I think that "grake" can be used for all masses and maybe also stresses, energies, or momenta in the right contexts. But definitely masses.
Aside from a potential mention of/terbri frame of reference, I do not see any need for different base words for rest and Relativistic masses.
Idk about "tilju". I take it to really mean "heavy", as in "having a lot of mass/inertia". It is neither "weight" nor "mass" themselves. Much like "clani" means "long" but not "displacement" (a d kinda not "length").

So can you please change the definition if you believe the new terbri is better?
I'm not sure what to do with E=mc^2 equivalence.
We are still lacking other properties of physical bodies, right? Ideally there should be a page listing them all.
