Re: [jboske] more true (was: ka ka (was: Context Leapers))

{ko'a na broda}
doesn't mean "{ko'a broda} is false," a metalinguistic claim; it claims the
complementary situation to that claimed by {ko'a broda} -- or however
negation is defined in a given system -- an object linguistic claim. {ko'a
ja'a broda}, on the other hand, does make the metalinguistic claim that
{ko'a
broda} is true.
I don't understand why you want to treat {ja'a} and {na} differently.
They are both unary operators: negation and identity, or whatever
they are called. (I don't see the advantage of calling them
connectives either, a connective with a single connectand?) I don't
see why {ja'a} should make any metalinguistic claim if {na} does
not make any.
