(I avoid translating "lo" as "some". A bare plural, "the", or sometimes "a" are all better. And together with "vi", "this" or "these".) So in more idiomatic English: "This beret is an example of a beret, which is an example of a hat, which is an example of a garment." > You could use {klesi} for 'example*', so there's no level-crossing. In my view, the x1 of klesi is at a different level than the x2, as in mupli, and as in krefu. The difference between mupli and klesi seems to be that there may be many equivalent mupli for the same se mupli, but two klesi of one se klesi are not equivalent. Or something like that. > Beret is a subclass of Hat, not an instance. I would hazard to say that "ro klesi be ko'a cu mupli ko'a". mu'o mi'e xorxes --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
