The connective "either" is a forethought connective, and "or" is an afterthought connective. You have the ability to leave out "either" and just say "Natalie will arrive today". But then you might have an afterthought, and decide to add "Or Natalie has been and gone. Or Natalie will not arrive at all today." -epkat On 8/5/06, Robin Lee Powell wrote: > On Sat, Aug 05, 2006 at 10:36:12AM -0700, Timothy Hobbs wrote: > > take this defanition as an example: > > Word: inaja [jbovlaste] > > Type: cmavo cluster > > Gloss Word: sentence only if > > selma'o: JA* > > Definition: logical connective: sentence afterthought conditional/only if > > > > what the heck do they mean by afterthought? > > The connective comes after the first sentence. > > http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/lojbanbrochure/lessons/less11.html > > http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/lojbanbrochure/lessons/less14.html > > See also the CLL chapter on logic. > > -Robin > > -- > http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ > Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!" > Proud Supporter of the Singularity Institute - http://singinst.org/ > > > >
