This brivla definitely means a shift to je'a morsi, and that shift can be stated meaningfully only if the origin is je'anai morsi. je'anai morsi includes no'e / na'e / to'e morsi. At least one of these states is implied to be true pu lo nu binxo by {mrobi'o}, whether or not the brivla's definition explicitly says so. > I understand that the lojban definition is applicable to a small statue t= hat > almost made it to be turned in a live bird by one of McGonagall's pupils. > The English one, not so much. If the resulting object was je'anai / ja'anai cipni, {binxo lo cipni} would be false. And "almost broda" is still na broda. > You might still use {mrobi'o} instead of {co'a morsi va'o} because you un= derstand that the x1 ceased to exist. If by {lo gerku} I meant the biological body of a dog, I could say {lo gerku cu mrobi'o} and mean not that the x1 (the body) has ceased to exist. (If existence required a biological functioning, all non-life would have been non-existent.) > But this is certainly not the case with many other > lujvo like {jbibi'o}, "approach".

In my view: {ko'a poi na'e jibni ko'e} ceases to exist as {ko'a poi je'a jibni ko'e} comes into existence. mu'o --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
