Fine, but what&#= 39;s the general valsi for "have" in the sense used here, which i= s neither hold, nor possess, nor retain? Are you suggesting that every inst= ance of "<x1> srana lo <bridi>" be changed to "&= lt;x1> se <bridi>"?

= =A0 There is no single lojban word which means the English "have"= in all its senses (my Merriam Webster lists over 13.) =A0Indeed, I'm s= urprised that Ceqli does have such a thing. =A0In most cases, such as "= ;I have a house/car/pet/hat", possession is indicated, and "ponse= " is correct. =A0In cases of indicating holding something ("I hav= e a gun"), "jgari" would be correct" To indicate a gene= ral relationship between two things, the actual nature of the relationship = should be indicated ("I have a brother", "I have a head"= ; -> "mi se bruna" "mi se stedu")

I didn'= t say "all" senses. I said "this" sense, and you didn&#= 39;t answer my question. Based on your response, I'll assume your answe= r would be "yes".

=A0 =A0Well, the point I= was trying to make is that lojban would consider "I have a hand"= and "I have a head" to be to DIFFERENT senses of a word glossed = in English as "have" because one is "being-with-hand" a= nd one is "being-with-head". =A0So I am not suggesting that "= ;every instance of '<x1> srana lo <bridi>' be changed t= o '<x1> se <bridi>'" =A0Only where '<x1>= se <bridi>' is in fact what you are trying to convey.=A0

So, in other words, your answer is "= yes", at least in the cases where the place structure of <bridi>= is "x1 is the <bridi> of x2 ...", such as with stedu, xanc= e, dalpe'o, famti, panzi, etc., etc.

Obviously in the case of valsi that don't follow that pattern we ju= st can't use that word for that sense of "have", since appare= ntly we have no valsi that has that sense /generally/, which, by the way, w= as what I was asking.
