No= w tell me what is the difference between
"lo mi gerku cu xam= gu" and "lo me mi gerku cu xamgu" ?
The first one is translated as
"lo any/some mi gerku dog(s) [of] I,= me)2 cu is/does =AB3xamgu being good=BB3]1"
and the second = one as
"lo any/some (3me amongst those that are mi I, me [type-of] = gerku dog(s))3)2 cu is/does =AB4xamgu being good=BB4]1"

Yes, "lo mi gerku" meaning "my dog" is quite handy,= but why it breaks the logic of anything learnt before ?
mi gerku= means "I'm a dog" and when it is used as a sumti in the phra= se
<lo mi gerku cu xamgu>=A0
it must mean <"I= 'm a dog" is good> whatever that means.

"me mi gerku" (my dog) has much more sense as it clear resemble= s "prenu gerku" (person's dog).

I feel that the "rule" of transforming "= I am" into "mine" when adding "lo" is absolutely a= lien to other lojbanic rules.

It is possible as Jorge Llamb=EDas explained, with "me <sumti>= ;" which is a conversion to the selbri "x1 is <sumti>"= .
