Antisymmetric gismu
Another interesting class are those pairs broda-brode
where broda and selbrode are synonyms, as are brode and
selbroda.
Again, these fall nicely into the same three categories
of the symmetric ones. I think these are all of them:
Abstract:
mleca less
zmadu more
Space-Time:
purci past
balvi future
lidne precede
jersi chase
crane front
trixe behind
cnita beneath
gapru above
zunle left
pritu right
berti north
snanu south
stici west
stuna east
{ragve} (across), is like these, but there
is no word for cis- (Same with {bancu})
nenri in
sruri surround
this last pair is close, if not exact.
Human:
rirni parent
panzi offspring
(Not really, because one is biological and the other not,
but they are close)
These could well have their corresponding mate, but don't:
dzena elder
famti aunt or uncle
vitke guest
Jorge
(I'm looking for patterns in the place structures to make
learning them easier.)
