The main problem I have with that is that it requires negation to have scope over subsequent sentence connectives as well, which to me seems extremely counterintuitive. {ro da na broda ije da brode} would mean "it is not the case that everything is both broda and brode". My preferred interpretation for that sentence is "it is not the case that everything is broda, and it is the case that something is brode". The Book does not give a clear ruling on what the scope precedence of {ro}, {na} and {je} in {ro da na broda ije da brode} is. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To unsubscribe, send mail to lojban-unsubscribe@onelist.com Your use of Yahoo!
