Yes it is. Context is everything. Since {lo bekpi} is= {lo se cortu}, it must be {lo berti be lo cortu}.

I know that context is everything. I have no doub= ts =A0that everything can be expressed in Lojban even with such a flaw in d= esign. After all, English has the same flaw and two solutions similar to my= first two solutions.

1. My back hurts. ~=3D lo bekpi be mi cu cortu
2. I have a pain in [my] back ~=3D mi cortu lo bekpi

Still I think it's a flaw in design. But I don't see how it ca= n be overcome even outside Lojbanic grammar.

Well, there you and I disagree, since I consider &quo= t;elided place =3D {zo'e} (the obvious value)" a /feature/, not a = flaw.
=A0
The only way it could be a back belonging to an indiv= idual /other/ than {lo cortu} is if that individual is an empath, and even = then it wouldn't be {ko'a cortu lo bekpi be ko'e}, but {ko'= a lifri lonu ko'e cortu lo bekpi}.
