I've noticed a lack in Lojban of a word for "pointing" in the most general sense. Or, in fact, in many of its more specific sense. What I'm looking for is the...
This is for Zendo, isn't it? :) Something with farna? X te farna Y probably, with the unfilled space being the "pointing direction". With people it might want...

The "point" thing reminds me: there seems to be no word(s) for "explicit" and "implication". ex·plic·it (Äk-splÄs'Ät) adj. Fully and clearly expressed;...
