From guga@xxxxx.xxx.xxx Thu Nov 26 15:22:04 1998 X-Digest-Num: 16 Message-ID: <44114.16.70.959273823@eGroups.com> Date: Thu, 26 Nov 1998 20:22:04 -0300 From: Gustavo Eulalio Could I define the individual descriptors like the following? > - le = one or more of those each of which a describe as X. > - lo = one or more of those each of which really is a X. > - la = one or more of those each of which is named X. I received a private reply confirming the above as valid. So, I ask now: Is the following also right? -lei = a part or the whole of a mass of those I describe as X -loi = a part or the whole of a mass of those which really are X -lai = a part or the whole of a mass of those named X -le'i = the set of those I describe as X -lo'i = the set of those which really are X -la'i = the set of those named X My doubts in these cases rely on "lei/le'i". The Reference Grammar defines them as: - lei => "... a mass I describe as ..." instead of: "... a mass OF THOSE I describe as ..." - le'i=> "... a set described as ..." instead of: "... a set OF THOSE I describe as ..." I know this difference may sound insignificant, but, since Lojban is a so "thorough" language, I thought this could make some difference. co'o mi'e guctav. -- ________ Gustavo Eulalio (g.eu@i.am) | ______| Homepage: http://i.am/g.eu/ | | ____ .-------------------------------. | | |__ | | "Minha língua é minha Pátria" | | | __| | | Fernando Pessoa | |_| |____| |_______________________________| /"\ \ / CAMPANHA DA FITA ASCII - CONTRA MAIL HTML X ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN - AGAINST HTML MAIL / \
