PROPOSAL: kelci place structure
CURRENT LANGUAGE:
kelci is defined as
kelci kel kei play
x1 [agent] plays with plaything/toy x2
9c 116 [play game (= ci'erkei), play competitively (= jvikei)];
(cf. jivna, jinga, zdile)
PROPOSED CHANGE:
correct the definition to
kelci kel kei play
x1 [agent] plays x2 with plaything/toy/props x3
9c 116 [x2 is activity (event) or name of the game;
play game (= ci'erkei), play competitively (= jvikei)];
(cf. jivna, jinga, zdile)
RATIONALE:
Not all games involve props, much less are defined by them.
"I play with dice" does not identify a game, as there are many dice games.
"I play the Star Trek drinking game" can only be translated as
{mi kelci le la tarci pluta ku kinpau velvei ku joi loi vanju
"I play role-playing games" is currently impossible to express.
co'o mi'e. goran.
