Kerviel said his motive was to "make money for the bank" In fact, his motive was to attract votes from the border states; His motive was to learn the campaign strategies of And so on. So generally goals of actions can be the motives of those actions in English, though maybe the word "motive" is reserved for more significant goals than a trivial one like "to buy butter". 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.
