Munda-Glosa

Zhenyu ("Zhenyu" <lizhenyu_god@...>) on April 26, 2010

I have concluded all the ideas to make Glosa even more precise as below. Ma= ybe I can call it “Munda-glosa” or “Exakti-Glosa”.

-gi,gi-=3D(-fe,fe-):a= uxi-gi=3Dfemale helper, auxi fe=3Dhelp her; gi-bovi=3Dfemale ox(cow), bovi-= gi=3Dcow girl; Fe auxi an=3Dshe helps him. {“gi” derives from “GIna”=3Dwoma= n}

-ro,ro-=3D(-an,an-):auxi-ro=3Dmale helper, auxi an=3Dhelp him; ro-bovi= =3Dmale ox(bull), bovi-ro=3Dcow boy; An auxi fe=3Dhe helps her.{“ro” derive= s from “andRO”=3Dman}

-pe remains the original usage: auxi-pe=3Dhelper pu= =3D(pe): auxi pu=3Dhelp people; pu dice=3Dpeople say {“pu” derives from “po= PUla”=3Dpeople, population}

Hereby, we can distinguish gi, ro, pe from fe,= an, pu quite easily and clearly by ear. *I ever considered about the place= of “-ro e -gi”, if I put them at back as “bovi-gi=3Dfemale ox, cow”, then = I have to use “bovi-homi-gi” to express “cow woman”, this will get longer a= nd more words for it. So I still think “gi-bovi=3Dfemale ox(cow), bovi-gi= =3Dcow girl” is better e shorter! We can go on discussing on this!

From t= hose on:

-ri=3D(-ma) meaning matter and material. Because the “ma” meaning= “more” has been defined. “ri” derives from “mateRIa”. Exp: bio-ri=3D(bio-m= a) living thing, bibe-ri=3D(bibe-ma) drink(s)

-ti=3D(-te) meaning textile = and cloth. Because the same “te” also shortened for “tende”, defined. “ri” = derives from “texTIli”. Exp: pedi-ti=3D(pedi-te) socks, tabla-ti=3D(tabla-t= e) table cloth

-ca=3D(-ka) meaning a room. Because the same “ka” also shor= tened for “kausa”, defined. “ca” derives from “CAmbra(=3Dkamera)” which isn= ‘t in the GID but I, for this, strongly advise to add it in. Exp: kuko-ca= =3D(kuko-ka) kitchen, kli-ca=3D(kli-ka) Bedroom. (* I ever thought about “-= lu (derives from voLUmi)” which also means “room” among all its meanings, b= ut the “room” here means “space”, I don’t know whether -lu could be OK) = “-ca” now is decided to use by me!

un: replaces u(n) “un” meaning “a”= of English
ad: replaces a(d) Exp: ad mi =3D a mi (very similar to AM= I by eari); ad na =3D a na (very similar to ANA by ear); ad vi =3D a vi (ve= ry similar to AVI by ear); kon: replaces ko(n) kon mi, kon an; kon-fac= e, kon-ergo non: replaces no(n) non-beli, non-ami I suggest use “ne”= replacing “no”. Exp: Qe fe es beli? Ne, fe ne es beli. Ja alo ne? Or, we = can especially use “NO” like “JA” which is only for answers. Exp: Qe fe es = beli? No, fe es non-beli. Try to feel: No, beli!(No, beautiful!) and Non-b= eli(Ugly!). The old forms are similar to each other. Exp: No, beli and No-b= eli. le: means “the” un-le feli=3D le feli(the cat), un-la feli(that = cat), tri-le feli or le tri feli=3D the three cats, tri-la feli=3D those th= ree cats.(“la tri feili” doesn’t mean “those 3 cats”, but “there three cats= “. so I insist on “tri-le” not “le tri” for regularity.) U, A, KO, NO could= be short forms, if you still like to use them as the original way of Glosa= .

*-mo: Remained.

*mon(mono)=3D one / num-mon=3Dfirst (literaly deri= ves “number one”); nume(ra) mon=3Dnumber one. bi=3Dtwo / num-bi=3D second=

tri=3Dthree / num-tri=3Dthird tet(tetra)=3Dfour / num-tet=3Dfourth pen(p= enta)=3Dfive / num-pen=3Dfifth six(sixa)=3Dsix / num-six=3Dsixth *sep(set= i,septi)=3Dseven / num-sep=3Dseventh ok(okto)=3Deight / num-ok=3Deighth *= nev,nona / num-nev or num-nona=3Dninth the use of NEV is for it’s shor= t. Nona could be shortened as “non” which is for “no(n)”. mon-ze,dek(deka)= =3Dten / num-mon-ze or num-dek=3Dtenth bi-ze=3Dtwenty / num-bi-ze=3Dtwent= ieth mon-ze-ze,hekto=3Dhundred, / num-mon-ze-ze,num-hekto=3Dhundredth mon-z= e-bi=3D101 / num-mon-ze-bi=3D101th Qo-num=3D Qo nume/numera (How many) = Qo-num is much shorter than the old. Prefer using the former numerals for= they are short. “num” is a new way to form the ordinals. Also we can stil= l use the original forms. Exp: le bibli mon(the book one)=3Dle num-mon bibl= i (the first book); le impresi mon de bi =3D le num-bi num-mon bibli (the s= econd first impression); le bi impresi mon=3D le bi num-mon impresi(the two= first impressions)

In order to make the grammar clearer, every noun h= ad better follow “un”, “le”, number, or quantity words. (If the word as a n= oun is obvious, the “UN” before it may be dropped. ) Exp: un kanta=3D a = song,
tri kanta=3Dthree songs, mi un/plu kanta=3Dmy song(s), mi tri kan= ta=3Dmy three songs, pan kanta=3Dall songs poli kanta=3Dmany songs

mi kan= ta=3D I sing mi kanta-ra=3Dmy singing “ra” similar to “-ec-“ of Monl= ango and “-ing” of English.

kanta=3Dto sing and singing.
he kanta=3D = sing! “he” similar to “-ez” of Mondlango. Comparing: Tom kanta.=3DTom si= ngs; Tom he kanta!=3DTom, sing!

“i”: deriving from “iso”, indicating the = two words between “i” are appositives. Exp: Mi i robota=3D I, robot = Comparing to the original: Mi, robota Mi (un) robota=3D my robot Compa= ring to the original: Mi robota “o”: indicating the word after “o” is vocat= ive. Exp: Mi amo tu, o papa!=3D I like you, (Oh) dad! Comparing to the= original: Mi amo tu, papa! Mi amo tu (un) papa.=3D I like your dad. = Comparing to the original: Mi amo tu papa.

”-“ could be elided. Exp=
Bovi gi=3DCow girl, Gi bovi=3DCow. Mon ze tri/ hekto tri=3D103

Abov= e all, any original form of Glosa could be accepted in Munda-glosa! Munda-g= losa can solve any problem with its new forms !

What do you think? Saluta= ! Li Zhenyu
