That's not what I'm suggesting though. All I'm saying is that kakne1 is, by the meaning of kakne, involved in some way in the event kakne2, but what this involvement is need not always be made explicit, since it is grammatical to omit arguments from a bridi. The first unspecified sumti is a reasonable choice, as long as it makes sense. If the first unspecified sumti slot could not take a person, it wouldn't make much sense to interpret the implicit "mi" as filling that slot. It is context that dictates what fills the unfilled slots. mu'o mi'e xorxes --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
