I'm not sure why you would conclude that. For example, this is true: mi prenu ijo mi na'e klama and {prenu} does not have the same place structure as {na'e klama}. The sentence is true because I am a person and I'm not going anywhere right now, not because there is any causal connection between being a person and being a non-goer. Logical connectives make no claims about causal connections. I suspect what you meant was that if {mi broda ijo mi na'e brode} were true in all possible worlds or under all possible circumstances, then {broda} and {na'e brode} would be constrained to have the same place structure. (In fact, they would be constrained to mean the same thing, wouldn't they?) But that is not how {ijo} works. All it does is say that either both sentences are true, or both are false, here and now, not in every possible world. co'o mi'e xorxes ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GET WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE FREE!
