Do we know how they interact with > {na} and {jaa}? I don't think we know much about how attitudinals interact with the rest of things. {ja'a} doesn't seem to present a problem, but I don't know what would something like this be: je'uru'e ta na blanu Weakly true, that is not blue. I suppose it could mean: je'unairu'e ta blanu Weakly false, that is blue. But I don't know. (And it gets even hazier if we start to look at interactions with {je} et al. It is easy to define that the fuzzy truth value of a conjunction is the product of the truth values, but what does a {je'uru'e} anded with a {je'ucu'i} give?) Jorge
