gleki (Fri Mar 15 13:55:50 2024)

there might be several definitions of it. see e.g.

It's the one you have listed as gnomic on that page, and I have seen many
Lojbanists use na'o to make gnomic aspect claims, so for them nau'e is a
synonym of na'o. But CLL says na'o means something else: "covers part of
the interval, but exactly which part is determined by context".

Also, I guess na'onai means "atypically" whereas nau'enai means
"episodically".

Wdym "the" one?
"Generic" or "gnomic" can be understood as
"To be an apple is to be a fruit". But that's just "subset of set" concept
(every member of set A is a member of set B).

or as an antonym of "episodic" for which bare selbri or lo'e or le'e
can be used.

That is, i just listed 4 meanings.

Can you please clarify in the definition which of them (if any) is meant?
