Arnold" Subject: meaning question X-Yahoo-Message-Num: 164 Content-Length: 443 Lines: 19 Thanks for the feedback on my previous post. Some interesting answers. I have a question about the meaning of gismu "karbi." The gismu list defines karbi as: compare; x1 [observer] compares x2 with x3 in property x4 (ka), determining comparison x5 (state) I do not understand what is meant by "determining comparison." Is this used to say which side is greater or less? Or what? Thanks for any clarification... steve
