The process brings forth its culmination by causing it. I don't see it. The event of my building a house does not cause the event of culmination of my building a house. The culmination is just one part of the event, just as the initiation is another part. How can the whole physically cause one of its parts? > > >{pu'o -- co'a -- ca'o -- mu'o -- za'o -- co'u -- ba'o}. > > pu'o - co'a - xxx - xxx - ca'o - mu'o - za'o - co'u - ba'o > >Only if we start with the preconceived notion that {ca'o} is somehow >a more natural placing and then try to twist our analysis so as to >justify that.

You say: given the way Lojban ZAhOs are, we can arrange them so and explain them in terms of a mirror placed at {mu'o}. I'm saying that if we were constructing a system of aspects, it would be nice to exploit the full symmetry of placing a mirror at {ca'o}. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
