You don't really need to bring in "djuno". "la .tom. du la .tomas." and "la .tom. du la .tom." already have different meanings, even in cases where they are both true. An "la .tom. du ri" has a third meaning, because repetition of a name is not always anaphoric. Whereas "la .tom. du ri" will always be true, "la .tom. du la .tom." might be false if there are two different Toms involved. 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.
