(You meant remod, not Pierre, right?) I can get that reading too. That's as general (and vague) as it can get. > Personally, I think that Pierre's reading is more in line with the gramma= r. > At the same time, I really wish we used infinitives ({nu} + {ce'u}). Some people do use them like that. Personally, I'm undecided, but since "ce'u" is almost always elided anyway, I don't have much of a problem with it. It could potentially cause trouble when you have complex sentences involving both properties and events, for example, here's one from Alice: ni'o =ABlu xu do nelci la noltruni'u =97sei la mlatu cu lauble voksa cusku= =97 li'u=BB ni'o =ABlu na sai go'i =97sei la .alis. cu cusku=97 .i ny mutce .y li'u=BB = .i ca ku .abu sanji lo nu la noltruni'u cu jibni trixe .abu gi'e tirna .i se ki'u bo di'a cusku =ABlu lo ka lakne fa lo nu ce'u jinga .i se ki'u bo na vamji lo temci fa lo nu mo'u kelci li'u=BB > The fact that > =A0{mi kakne lo nu dansu}, > is interpreted by some people as > =A0"There is dancing if I want.", I think almost everybody would interpret it as "mi kakne lo nu [mi/ce'u] dansu". > thus leaving the sentence open to mean > =A0"I have a gnome in my house that dances whenever I wish.", > really sucks. But the alternative (forbidding any kind of ellision) sucks even more. mu'o mi'e xorxes --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
