Yes, if you can help with CLL 1.1 please do. After= finishing technical stuff we can quickly progress in updating the text (i.= e. the "meat") of the CLL

The interval X is not speci= fied at all, IMO  If you had said "mi co'a ba ze'u pu bajra", that wou= ld mean "I am at the beginning of a long future time of having had run" (wh= ich is true, if you have ever run in the past), then X=3Dze'u.

2. {mi co'a bajra} says that in the beginning of some unspec= ified interval goi X I start running.

Case I: Is the interval X ide= ntical to {ze'u}? In this case the event of my running must be in the begin= ning of {ze'u}.

Case II: Is the interval X not specified in the bridi at all= ? In this case the beginning of running takes place in some unspecified int= erval and the interval {ze'u} says that this running takes place for a long= time interval in the beginning of the unspecified interval.


Ok, so which interpretation do you choose?

  Well, the way I woul= d interpret that sentence is "I will be having started to run, for a long t= ime" That is to say, I interpret it as mi ba ze'u (pu (co'a bajra)).  = See for example 10.3.16  That is, I would interpret all tenses as goi= ng outward from the selbri.  But reasonable people may disagree with m= e.  And so may unreasonable ones.  I live it up to you to interpr= et which category the toltu'i be mi  are in.

What is the proper interpretation of the= sentence {mi baze'upu co'a bajra}?

1. That the "start running-predi= cate" takes place through the whole intervall, which probably means that th= e start running intervall is a part of some other unspecified intervall.
or

2. That I start running in the beginning of the intervall {ba= ze'upu}.

or something else?


I couldn't figure this out by= reading CLL or BPFK sections, so please help!
