Right. You need context to figure out the precise referent of {lo ro cribe}, but it certainly does not normally refer to whatever bears are present in the context. > "I'm sure you know what I mean" vs. "X that is > relative to me in manner Y". Not sure what you mean by these. "I'm sure you know which one(s) I mean" is more or less what {le} means. "X that is relative to me in manner Y" is unrelated to {le} or {lo}, as far as I can see. mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
