To: lojban@CUVMB.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU In-Reply-To: (message from HACKER G N on Thu, 23 Oct 1997 20:59:47 +1000 (EST)) X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 Content-Length: 662 X-From-Space-Date: Thu Oct 23 12:14:02 1997 X-From-Space-Address: LOJBAN@CUVMB.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU Not long ago: Bob saw mountains flying over Vermont. This is true in at least two interpretation: I was flying my airplane at an altitude of about 1 km and I saw actual mirages of actual mountains. (A fairly rare sight in the North East -- I reported it to a delighted weather man.) I also saw actual mountains on the ground, as they are supposed to be. The challenge: state both interpretations in one Lojban utterance. Be sure to indicate the appropriate veridical natures of things. -- Robert J.
