ju'i LLG Re: ko .a'o fraxu mi...

[Iain Alexander <ia@STRYX.DEMON.CO.UK>]

I'm putting this up front in English to improve the chances
of a response from someone in LLG.

Jorge thinks that

jorne jon     jo'e joined
x1 is joined to/connects to/is united with x2 at common locus x3;
x1 and x2 are a union          6f  34
[also joined/fastened/attached by joint x3/by means of x3/with fastener x3;
fastener (= jo'etci, jonvelyla'a); train, sequence of joined objects
(= jonpoi; porjo'e for a single object joined into a sequence)];
(cf. lasna, fenso, kansa, pencu, penmi)

is restricted to situations where the two objects meet at a point,
or at least are close together.  Can it be used for two points
being connected by a line (which I was trying to use it for),
or the cord joining a television to the electric plug,
or whatever?  If not, what else do we use?  Is

lasna         la'a fasten               'lash'
x1 (agent) fastens/connects/attaches/binds/lashes x2 to x3 with fastener x4
                     3f  17    [no implication that result is considered a
single object; although x2 and x3 may be reversible, x3 may be used for the
substrate, the fixed/larger object to which x2 becomes attached];
(cf. jorne, fenso, jgena, batke, dinko, kansa)

better (e.g. {zi'o lasna})?
