It occurred to me the other day, that while in lojban we have three "we"s
-- mi'o (me and you), mi'a (me and not-you), ma'a (me, you, and not-you),
that "we" is used in English in another way, which doesn't involve "me" at
all -- such as "We beat the Yankees" or "We shouldn't rape our enemies's
woman, that's just wrong".  I guess this is metonymy? Anyway, is there a
way to do this in lojban?
