I'd say that tanru logical connectives are pretty base > thing, The main problem with tanru logical connnectives is what can it mean to connect two predicates with different place structures. The usual assumption is that the x1 of "broda je brode" has to be something that satisfies both the x1 of broda and the x1 of brode. But what about the x2? Does it have to satisfy both the x2 of broda and the x2 of brode? If so, does something like "ko'a ko'e sutra je bajra" make any sense at all? >unlike some obscure mekso issues, or "what if a sentence has > multiple prenexes". I'm not aware of any issues with multiple prenexes, it's just the same as one single longer prenex. > Also, I don't really understand how jo'u works in general, in CLL I've > seen only one example.

I take "jo'u" as the connective corresponding to "lo", just like "joi" corresponds to "loi" and "ce" corresponds to "lo'i". So "mi jo'u do bevri lo pipno" is like "lo re prenu cu bevri lo pipno". > The less I understand jo'u as a tanru connective... Tanru connectives are indeed weird. mu'o mi'e xorxes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
