X-To: lojban@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu To: John Cowan Status: OR X-From-Space-Date: Tue Oct 17 18:44:25 1995 X-From-Space-Address: LOJBAN%CUVMB.BITNET@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU Some questions: (1) In trisyllabic cmavo, e.g. {laaa}, {la'a'a}, is the stress {laAa} or {lAaa}? Or can it be either? (2) Is {re re mei} a suivla meaning "two pairs", or is it a sentence meaning "there is a twenty-two-some"? Either way, what does one add to get the right bracketing? {re boi re mei}? (3) Given that (i-ii) are synonymous ("Not every person's a man") i. na nanmu fa ro prenu ii. ro prenu cu na nanmu ["Every person is not a man" = {ro prenu na ku nanmu}] I'd have thought iii-iv shd also be synonymous iii. koa ba klama pu ku iv. pu ku koa ba klama But according to the tense paper iii-iv differ. Is there a rationale to this? (4) Can anyone remind me what the technical name is for the constituent that complements LE (e.g. the bracketed constituent in {le [speni be la lojbab]})? (5a) What do VI, ZI, VEHA & ZEHA used as sumtcita mean? (5b) What was the upshot of the discussion of a while ago about how to specify exact extents for VI, ZI, VEHA & ZEHA? --- And
