You're right. We need to assert {broda} for Plato. I also wasn= 9;t aware
of his Greek name. Certainly, it's more appropriate.

That isn't a correct use of {ka} according to current usage, but = was
more widely accepted in the past IIRC. Anyway, this is that same
problem that we encounter when trying to translate stuff like "love&qu= ot;
as a noun. What is love if not the event of someone loving someone
else? By that logic: what is the truth if not something being true?
Personally, I disapprove of the tanru {zmadu broda} but there's no
objective way to say that it's no good, not to mention that I don't=
really feel like getting in to which reasons I have for disliking it.

Considering all that:
.i mi broda la. platon .e ku'i mau bo lo nu jetnu
= =A0
=A0 lo ni mi prami la platon ku no'u =A0li za'u= no cu se zmadu lo ni mi prami loi ka jetnu

;-)
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0--gejyspa
