Reply-to: bob@rattlesnake.com References: X-eGroups-From: "Robert J. Chassell" From: "Robert J. Chassell" X-Yahoo-Message-Num: 6196 I'm not being confused by 'know'. I want to know what a ve djuno is, and also to know how "X djuno P fo Y" and "X djuno not-P fo Z" could be true. Its how you come to know or believe or apprehend or consider true something. For example: I came to know that the butler was innocent because he told me so. I came to know that the butler was guilty because he held a smoking gun in his hand. It goes without saying that it takes judgement to decide what is known and what is not. Most of the time the judgement is made without conscious effort or thought, but sometimes it is conscious and difficult. -- Robert J.
