"ro da bu'a la .bab. = "Considering all X which exists: X is in at least one relationship with Bob" = "Everything is related to Bob in at least one way.".

issue #3. Les= son 27. "ro da bu'a la .bab. =3D "Considering all X which exists: X is in a= t least one relationship with Bob" =3D "Everything is related to Bob in at = least one way.". Notice again the order matters: bu'a ro da zo'u da bu'a Bo= b means: "There is at least one relationship such that everything that exis= ts is in that relationship with Bob". The first statement is true - for any= one thing, one can indeed make up some selbri which relates any guy called= Bob and it. But I'm not sure the latter is true - that one can make a selb= ri which can relate anything, no matter what it is, and Bob."

Defini= tely "bu'a ro da zo'u da bu'a Bob" is not correct lojban at all. How it sho= uld sound like?


Regarding the abstraction= s si'o, nu and ka, I think they are too advanced to be taught early on. The= semantics of them is discussed in lesson 29. I've added a line explaining = that: "The meanings of these is a complicated matter, and will be discussed= much later, in lesson twenty-nine. For now, you'll have to do without them= ."

In the wave lessons, I've chosen to present tenses simply as sumt= cita, even though the grammar for PU is different than for BAI. In the begi= nning of lesson 10, it says: "No, in the Lojban tense system, all tenses ar= e sumtcita, which we have conveniently just made ourselves familiar with. O= kay okay, technically, tenses are slightly different from other sumtcita, b= ut this difference is almost insignificant, and will be won't be explained = until later."

I've added a sentence: "In most aspects they are like = all other sumtcita; they are terminated bu ''ku'', for example.", making it= explicit that PU is terminated by ku.
