Would there be a difference in word usage or grammar when your
intended meaning is metaphorical/abstract (as in aiming for a goal,
trying to foster a certain feeling/atmosphere, or accomplish a quota
for production) vs. physically setting your sights on a particular
object/area which you are attempting to launch a projectile at?  Is
this an ambiguity that you would need to create different kinds of
lujvo to unambiguously clarify (assuming it wasn't clear from the
context), or are there actually different Lojban words or word orders
that may also be used to clarify this ambiguity?  OR could you decide
to say the same thing multiple different ways and still be
grammatically correct? (feel free to use/cite other examples other
than "target" as well)

(perhaps a formal introduction will come later; I'm new to the list
and excited about Lojban)
