Is it the union of the set of cats and the set of dogs? Or is it the (presumably empty) intersection? I suppose it has to be the union. So we would have: lo [pa] mlatu ce gerku du lo'i mlatu ja gerku "The set union of the set of cats and the set of dogs is the set of things that are either cats or dogs (or both)." >I do always prefer strong-typed programming languages, so it is very >natural for me that set is similar to set in quality of being {simxu}. I would have expressed it as: do lo'e mlatu ku joi lo'e gerku cu simsa le ka prami simxu co'o mi'e xorxes ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAXIMIZE YOUR CARD, MINIMIZE YOUR RATE!
