Not to contradict your conclusion that the -gua\spi definition won't work for (every predicate in) Lojban, but isn't it "x1 is be-kidneyed by x2"? Presumably, the sets of hearts and kidneys would only overlap a little, unless we're defining a formerly unrecognized synonym, so the referent sets would be distinct in this case. James F.
