Implicit {ce'u} only happen in ka-abstractions= , where a {ce'u} must occur. {mi djica lo nu sipna} could very well be used to mean {mi djica lo nu lo cifnu cu sipna} or even {mi djica lo nu da sipna}. By the way, I never understood why nu-abstractions are used in djica2. There is no specific event you desire for. You just want an event with cert= ain properties to happen. Maybe the more abstract {du'u} would express that? --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= Lojban Beginners" group.
