What Lindar probably has in mind are not things like "I need to go to the store" which seems like a clear case of "nitcu", but things like "someone needs to clean the floor" or "the floor needs to be cleaned". These seem to be more ".ei" than "bilga" though. ".ei su'o da lumci lo loldi", ".ei lo loldi cu se lumci". They are certainly not "su'o da bilga lo nu lumci lo loldi" and much less "lo loldi cu bilga lo nu se lumci". I would say they are actually cases of raising from "sarcu": 'lo nu lo loldi cu se lumci cu sarcu" -> lo loldi cu jai sarcu fai lo nu se lumci": "That the floor be cleaned in necessary" -> "the floor needs to be cleaned". The "someone" case can't be raised in Lojban because of the quantifier. Other cases that may look more like "bilga" (as in "he needs to pay more attention") I would say are similarly cases of raising (from "it is necessary that he pay more attention") rather than cases of "bilga". mu'o mi'e xorxes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
