Does it mean the >same as {so'a lo} or maybe {so'e lo} or even {rau lo}? If not, why? No, it's none of those, lo'e is about the archetype. If you want a quantifier it will have to be {tu'o lo}. We might say that lo'e extracts the purely intensive properties of the members of the set. No extensive examination of them (what quantifiers do) helps. > > Or we can simplify it to: {lo'e djuno cu vlipa}. > >Very fine! Short, precise, lojbanic. Or just {lo djuno cu vlipa}, >regarding my doubts with {lo'e}. If you have doubts about lo'e (which is most reasonable of you), then {ro djuno cu vlipa} is, I think, better. {lo djuno cu vlipa} only says that some knower is powerful, hardly comparable to the claim that knowledge is power. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
