Lojban

Etymology

In Lojbanized spelling.

• Chinese: cian — 現／现 (xiàn)
• English: nau — now
• Hindi: ab — अब (ab)
• Russian: seicas — сейчас (sejčas)

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈʃabna/

Root

cabna (rafsi cab)

1. x₁ is occurring/existing at the same time as x₂ (one or both of x₁ and x₂ may well exist/progress into the future/past of the other).
2. x₁ is occurring now

Usage notes

• If x₂ is tacit, then cabna can be interpreted to mean "now", but if both sumti are filled, then cabna is interpreted to mean that x₁ is simultaneous or concurrent with x₂. Also note that the sumti might tend to be lenu-type abstractions.
